The story behind this quilt block started more than 10 years ago when I was working on a new pattern, sewed a block together the wrong way and liked my ‘mistake’ block much better than the original.  I first used that block for a quilt pattern released in 2013 and have tried it in various configurations since then.  The Star Trick design is my favourite one yet.
