This block gets more complex, but it looks so pretty. This has eight points that look like they extend toward the corners. So pretty.

| Wyoming Valley Star by Bobbin In Quilts |
I love this star because it is made entirely of half-square triangles and squares. But several areas of the star mimic flying geese and hourglass blocks.
It is ideal for beginner quilters and a great block for working on your piecing skills.

| Friendship Star or Wandering Star by Sew Can She |
This block can be called a friendship star block or wandering star block. This one is unique with the four points that come out from the center in half square triangles.
 |
| Union Star by Fabric 406 |
The amazing thing about quilt blocks is there are so many ways to piece together the shapes for a completely different look. I love that all of these different stars are similar but special in their own ways.
 |
| Prairie Star by Handmade Emily Jean |
This one is so gorgeous, and unique. I love that some of the points look like arrows, and how the colors go from darker to lighter on the edges.
This one also is called a Lone Star block.

| Eight Pointed Star by Quilts by Jen |
We have seen eight-pointed stars before, but this one is made from diamond shapes, similar to the prairie star, but this one is just eight diamonds together to form a star.
 |
| Maple Star Quilt Block by Diary of a Quilter |
A maple star block uses more squares and rectangles at the center of the star with cute little points around the edge. It is also neat to see the block in different sizes, it is the same, but looks just a little different with the two size and fabric choices.
 |
| Triangle Star Quilt Block by Diary of a Quilter |
Triangles also make up a pretty star block. Piece together a hexagon shape in the center out of triangles and then add the triangle points. Sew lots of these blocks together for a gorgeous star quilt pattern.

| Rolling Star Block by Flamingo Toes |
This one is really pretty too. I like that the rolling star block almost looks like the star has movement with the pieces around the star in the block.
 |
| Checkerboard Star by Flamingo Toes |
Checkerboard patterns are pretty trendy right now. Why not combine that look with the points of a star for a checkerboard star quilt block? Cute, Right?
It's a good one to practice your 16-patch blocks as well as your flying geese.
