This is a star block that can be varied depending on the number of colours used.  It is based upon a 5x5 grid and uses HST's and flying geese (although of course two HIS's  back to back make a flying goose)

 

Patchwork Square does a multicolour version here and includes sample layouts and gives the effect of an isolated star

Sunshine Quilt Block

Cotton Boll/ X Block

Having featured the O block it seems only fair to feature the X block just in case you want to to XOXO...However note that this block is based on a 2x2 grid not 3x3 so if you want to use it with this O block then use either a 6" or 12" block.

O block/ the big O Block

This is not the O block used with the X block to make an x's and o's quilt (which is based on a 2x2 grid) this is a variation of a snowball block based on a 3 x 3 grid  - that being said if you want to make an XOXO quilt with this version make the blocks 6" or 12" and they will still fit together.

This version is from Generations Quilt and comes in five sizes
