Stars and Samplers

Here are my Stars in a Time Warp blocks from last week. Obviously purple was the theme.

The next block for the Ohio sampler is the Tree of Life. 
I found this block online and used it to design a pattern for my sampler. The tree of life can be a complicated and varied pattern.
Here's the applique block for the sampler. 

I mentioned I didn't particularly care for my drunkards path. Maybe if I make it more like this one i'd like it better! Lol

Have a great Wednesday!

    Your tree block looks much easier to piece than the pattern in the book. Your Ohio Rose block is very pretty in the fabrics you chose. The red looks sort of like a bandana print.
    The Drunkard's Path block in the antique quilt looks like someone was a bit tipsy either when they made it or tried to make it fit into the quilt.

    Too funny about the drunkards path. I really like your appliqued block. Your purple stars and tree are nice too. Can't wait to see the next post.

    Loving the purple stars. Can never get enough of repro purples.
    I really like that interpretation of the TOL block.
    That should be the standard by which all Drunkard's Path blocks are judged--truly lives up to the name! : )
    Very pretty applique block!

    Love your purple stars - and you have a foulard in there too. Two birds with one block! And, I especially like your applique block.

    I need to get some stars done, it just seems to be pushed to the back of the table on a regular basis. Hmmm
    Love you appliqued block,

    The lesson to learn from the DP block is if it doesn't fit, just wack it off. Great purple blocks. That was a fun color to work with and your Applique is lovely. Great work all around.

    All your applique and piecing work are beautiful.

    I am not a fan of the DP block, but there are other ways to place them that I prefer "the dove" or the other one where all the quarter circles are placed in the middle to make a ball.
