Star Christmas Ornament Block
"This sweet Christmas ornament #4 quilt block is inspired by the vintage Shiny Brite Christmas tree ornaments that I've collected over the years. This ornament #4 quilt block is so classic with the bright aqua star in the center of it! And the best part of making this block is using a time and fabric saving technique to make the points of the star!!! I love the red, aqua blue, teal, pink, gold, purple, and green color combinations of the Shiny Brite ornaments!! These ornaments bring back the nostalgia of my childhood and decorating the freshly cut balsam tree on Christmas Eve. Besides decorating with vintage ornaments, I also love the thought of decorating with quilts over the holidays! Quilts add that cozy touch to any Christmas décor! "
