I think this might be an especially fun block to do as a monochromatic pattern….have the crumbs be a variety of black & white fabrics and the stars could be a pop of color…or switch that, and make the stars out of a shiny metallic white and silver and the background be from a monochromatic palette of any color of your choosing. I’m going to play around with it! Thanks for a fun project to play with!

I also did strips with adding machine tape and sewed together into 10 inch squares, then used a background and made 1/2 square triangles to use up my scraps.

I love it. For now, I am tired of quilts all matchy, matchy. Thank you for showing us how to make an imperfect square!

I'm a cranky old spinny too. 10 years out from cancer, not always so cranky, happy to be here, and guys can be too much trouble, so happily missed. Like your web piecing, thanks for the ideas.

Such a fun improv quilt block! Thank you for sharing this video!

I really like the way that you did this, it is fun and oh so pretty. I also like your idea of reversing every other block so that the star is the crazy patch and the background is the solid color. Very nice. Thanks.

I love that! It's really pretty. I dont have a bunch of scrap or 2.5in squares. I used most of them for a sewing machine pad thing and I made a pin cushion with the rest. Gonna have to get some more 2.5 in squares for this one. Great idea....thank you and God bless.

Very fun colors!!! Thank you

It was surprising to me how much the friendship star stood out from the rest of the “busy” squares. And how much the center square stood out. It made me want to change that center square...somehow give it some color...maybe make it a square in a square. Enjoyed analyzing it with you. Thanks!

Just thought how pretty this would be with all sky colours pieced, and yellow star fabric. Ooh

Very interesting!🤔. I’m newer to quilting, but did find this enjoyable. I’m wondering if the star could be the patchwork fabric and your background the light gray??!?! I liked how you thought out loud, it’s very helpful to figure it out. After all… 🤔it works better if you talk out loud😝 ❤️😀

I like it. And I think that different solid stars , maybe more muted color, will incandescent the total look.

Love the crumb aspect, i think a solid star in a solid like black that goes with any color would b nice ❤

I’d try a gray darker in value, which I think would make the star a little stronger.

Love the process. I would change the stark white for a coordinating low volume print.

I like the idea. I would try to sort out the 2 inch squares by color. Then put them together as a rainbow quilt with the friendship star scrappy and the background solid.

I like this block very much interesting

Loved this❣

I love this super cute idea

Those squares are great for making tote bags too

Enjoyed this very much. As phenomenal as it looks, I would just do a small 9 patches in place

cute idea!

I think I am going to try this with my five in crumb squares!

I like how the solid is the star ,it would look cool if each star pulled a color from the scraps .personally for me no sashing

I did a similar experiment with wonky stars. I wish I had used a lighter fabric for the stars, but overall I am pleased.

l love the block

I made a quilt using 2 1/2 inch square triangle quilt so far it has taken 1,600 half square triangles.

Would like to see how to make postcards.

I'm using 2 1/2 inch squares to make donation quilts. Giving them to foster children. I embroider their name in bold letters in hopes the quilts won't get lost.

I wonder how it would look if your 4.5" squares were cut slightly "wonky"? Neat idea. I would have to incorporate it into another block since I'm not a fan of the friendship star block.

hi from mexico is interested how you work with creativity and give ideas to made

Are you still doing the mystery quilt with 2 1/2" squares?

Nice for a block but too labour intensive for a quilt....for me anyway. I'd get overwhelmed ha ha

You wear me out with your rambling

The explanation is slightly confusing.

You should have it Figured out ahead of tome😢

Seams like a lot of waste
