Sester centennial quilt along: Botanical Beauty block #5

Welcome to block #5, Tulip Star.
I designed this block about 10 years 
ago and planned to do it in red, white, and green.

Here is the center of the original.

It is soooo close to done:) and instead 
of finishing it, I have created a 
small wall hanging pattern and 
now included it in my Botanical Beauty Sampler. 
It has been enlarged and shrunk down 
depending on my feelings for that project.


I am loving the red, white, and blue!!
So, now imagine making multiples of 
this block and setting them together
as shown above.
What a gorgeous patriotic quilt you 
will have and they sort of look
like fireworks:)

IF you are new to our quilt along,
the FULL pattern is available as a 
PDF digital download HERE.
Etsy offers tips for printing digital patterns.
Please be sure to print ACTUAL SIZE.
All templates have a 1" square for accuracy.
This is a single-copy purchase for a single user!
Copies may not be forwarded or copied to 
be shared with others!
The pattern is required for the QAL.
My accompanying posts and videos
will not provide any measurements.
I will be providing technique
tips and history tidbits.

The QAL is taking place in 
my FB Group, 
 with blog posts
adding additional information.
