March Greens have really changed the dynamic of the blocks above; with small circles forming as the blocks are butted up to each other. The pattern is not mine, however if I ever locate this block in print (I'm sure I have seen it before); I will give the designer or magazine credit. It has been a lot of fun going through my old magazines looking for this block (an excuse to relax and browse the old fashion way) .... all I can remember is that it was vintage.
And...since we are on the subject of Rainbow quilts, the string quilt was born from newspaper foundations made with a 60 degree ruler - the foundation unit was 6 1/2" tall. Made for a class demonstration on 60 degree rulers, I have always wanted to go back and make a much larger variation of this quilt. Oh well, one day. (No pattern, the quilt was achieved by using the design wall and a lot of twisting and turning).

Great blocks, I love this secondary pattern, circles with squares! Vintage, but still modern! Love the string quilt too
Yeah you are right the circular pattern shows well with all the blocks together. Love your rainbow quilt.
What a pretty star quilt. The design wall is one of the best tools for quilters.
great projects - really impressed with string star
String Stars came out wonderfully!
Really really wonderful string star -- pattern or not -- it is grand!!
Fun blocks and I love the secondary design. But I really love your string quilt. I'm not usually a fan of them, but your layout and non-square shape is great!
The string quilt is beautiful. Love the design and layout.
It's fun to watch what happens with your "vintage" blocks - they are going to make a wonderful quilt! The rainbow string quilt is gorgeous!
That vintage pattern is so cool. I particularly love secondary patterns that emerge. And your string star quilt is beyond beautiful!!!
Your vintage block is really interesting! I love blocks that look simple until you start putting bunches of them together, and then suddenly they go all wowzers!
And that stringy rainbow star is absolutely gorgeous!
What fun! A secondary pattern is emerging. Thanks for sharing your lovely rainbow finish, too!!
Wow, Star Strings is awesome. I now have another project for the 60 degree ruler I purchased! I have strings - strings- strings~
Hey Scrappy Sister, these are fantastic! Looks like you are having a good week in the studio. I have been eyeing up your sidebar posting of your patterns and especially love the Summer Wedding. Have a great week and talk soon...Kathy
Your blocks are coming together beautifully. I agree, the addition of green blocks is perfect. Love the secondary circle design. The Big String star is super.
I love your soft smoky hues. And it is so much fun to watch the addition of new colors each month.
Lovely!
