Ohio Star

I've never made an Ohio Star block before but I really like this one. I especially like the flexibility of this block, the way that fabric can be used to create a different look.

Ohio Star

The Ohio Star block is probably one of the most common and well-known traditional quilt blocks.  You can find many variations, including the Maverick Star, which is currently all the rage around the internets.

This block is easy to make, so long as you pay attention to the details.  It's built on a simple nine-patch block, with quarter-square triangles thrown in.
