Block number 8. This block reminds me of a bears paw block, but a bit fancier. I like blocks that look like stars. The strip that runs through the block, depending on how you layout the block, can become a secondary pattern. This block on its own can make a striking quilt when the block is repeated.
This is what I did with the block. The light around the perimeter I left it as light by using my yellow fabric. The lights within the block I filled them with colour. I like the strip that runs through the block, so I wanted it to stand out a bit and decided to use my dark portions of my orange/yellow fabric.
This block only has a touch of the purple, right in the centre. If I were to choose to make a quilt with just this block, I would take that purple centre and use the same colour to do the cornerstones of the sashing that I would put around the block and get that secondary pattern going.

As I said earlier I like blocks that have stars in them. To make the star portion stand out I decided to use the main fabric, the black fabric. Though doing the second set of points in the blue helped to make that stand out a bit too.
