Block 2/25

Day into Night Star

One Hundred Eighty-Two Day Solstice Challenge
Hosted by Pat Sloan At Ilovetomakequilts.com

Day … into Night…. Then back into Day….

Or 2016… into 2017….. It’s a neat way to mark a transition

with a block that is half light and half dark

You can use 2 fabrics, or make it scrappy with the center

rectangles different light/dark than the star points. Block is 12.5” x 12.5”
This will make such a fun quilt to do with multiple blocks! Finished Size 12”

The Solstice challenge spans 182 between the winter and summer Solstice this year. Well be making
a quilt with 26 blocks… and Somewhere along this journey I'll give you a setting.
