This one is really making my heart sing. I am planning to make 12 of these 15-inch blocks for a Christmas tree skirt. Once again I am using a Carol Doak pattern. (Block #240 with the top star omitted and #34 fro 300 PP blocks. The gift center is block #75).
Here are the two star fabrics. Can you believe that this fabric with gold fish and elephants would be used in a Christmas project? I thought it was just the fabric needed to give a shimmer of gold throughout the secondary star fabric.
Here is a close up of one block. See the elephant legs?
A project like this with golden highlights is exactly what I had in mind when I purchased this fabric months ago. I never shy away from fabric with unusual designs. I know that once I cut it up, it will not even resemble the original pattern.
All in all I am pleased as punch with this one.

Thanks
Fiesta, Thank you. I was pretty excited about the block.
Hi Mattsmon, Yes, the block finishes at 15 inches wide. I am so glad posting the block numbers is helpful to you. I also do it so I can remember. I can guarantee you that by next week, I will have totally forgotten which block it was.
I have never even heard of a special batting for table runners. I will have to check that out. 18 inches would be as large as I would ever need. I like my runners to be 9 to 12 inches so they don't interfere with the place settings.
Have fun with your project....Sarah
