Each month Angela at So Scrappy gives a different colour, and this month's colour is pink. She is also giving some sampler star blocks this year, and I'm making the sampler blocks, with midnight blue as my background colour. When Angela posted this block she didn't know its name; I don't either, but it's reminiscent of the block in my jig-saw quilt.

January's colour was medium blue, which meant medium blue centre block and star points in the Sawtooth Star. As there wasn't enough contrast with my background colour, I reversed the scheme: neutral blocks and star points. finally I've managed to finish the Sawtooth Star surround of the Card Trick block

I like this colour scheme, and bought another 3 metres of the blue fabric this week. Not exactly scrappy!
I'm linking up to SoScrappy for
So hop over there to see more starry pink points.
Happy sewing

Your sampler blocks are turning out great. I really like the blue background.
But you're using all the scraps up for the centres and the star points. I bought background fabric too but in white as I used up most of the scraps with other projects.
Beautiful!
I really like your card trick. Nice job!
Hello Marly! I like your blue background! It makes the other colours look very subtle and I like that look! Nice blocks! :) x
This will be a very striking quilt when it is finished. The dark blue sets off the blocks very nicely.
I love your blocks! Dark blue and pink is one of my favorite color combos.
Beautiful blocks!!!
That pink is so cute!
Loving the contrast. Good job.
Both those stars are just wonderful Marly. Love the designs and the colours you have used.
What a lovely looking pink and blue block - great idea!
Using the dark blue background was an inspired idea, it's going to be a very dramatic quilt. Looking forward to seeing your version come to together at the end of the year.
Those blocks look wonderful on that blue background.
I know that block pattern as Sailboat or Crown. I made a black and white quilt in that pattern last year (or was it the year before?). Good job with your blocks!
Great choice on the star points, they look lovely with your background fabric.
Your blocks look great and I love the blue background!
I've never seen that first block before, but I like it. I also like the way you put the card trick inside the star block. Really makes it sing.
Marly--loving your blocks with the blue!
Love how your sampler blocks are turning out.
