Perfect HST Sampler Block 11: Navigator Star
Welcome to November! We started it out with a couple of inches of snow. Ugh! Winter is starting far too early for my taste. But November means it's time for another HST Sampler block, and yes, this month we're tackling the big baddie in the center. It's finally here!
I'm calling this month's block Navigator Star. After 10 months of blocks named after various places that have been important to me throughout my life, this block is basically the compass rose of this quilt. It points in all the directions that my life has taken. So Navigator Star it is—guiding the way to all the places I've felt at home, and hopefully continuing to point me in the right directions. 😊
I hope you enjoy making this block! But FYI, it's not a quick make. You may need to work on it over several sittings. Take your time, be patient, and understand that it's really more the size of four blocks, so keep plugging away at it throughout the month, and you'll have a beautiful center block in the end! This block would also make a fabulous mini quilt all on its own, so file this month's pattern away for future use.
