My post about this pattern was deleted....I have judy martin's book, and I am trying to draw this on EQ so I can play with the colors before making it. My post had a screenshot of my drawing and a link to judy's pattern....not sure why it was deleted, but if anyone can help me figure out how to draw the small star/ triangle pieces, that would be great! I can play with colors with what I have drawn, just hoping to learn a little more about the EQ 5 program....hopefully this isn't breaking the rules......

On Pinterest, I absolutely loved the Shakespeare one made of 30's repro fabrics, soft, delicate but beautifully blended.

The conservative, non-daring person I am, I love the colors as they are. So rich with movement. Absolutely beautiful.

I love this pattern. Bought the book to make it and have been collecting blues and whites to make it scrappy. It's on the bucket list. Have to make a baby quilt for DGS due to arrive this week, Lord willing!

Never would have thought of putting these two blocks together, How cute is this?

I do believe this pattern is either the Judy Martin Shakespeare or the Fons and Porter quilt. I think that the thing that makes this quilt pictured more interesting is the way the blues are placed in the 'snails' block. It creates an illusion of an alternate friendship star along with the obvious 'star' block. Just my observation.

She also has one that is the same layout, but the star blocks are all different. Its called Virginia Star Sampler and its in a book called Knockout Blocks and Sampler quilts. There are MANY quilts in that book that are on my Bucket list!
