UFO's ~Star Blocks

Recently came across this Blue Lone Star Block.
This block was developed to build skills 
 resulting in taking one of my online quilting class. 



This lesson was my first encounter working with 
 60 degree angles and dreaded Y seams.
I knew it would be a challenge and yet favoring the possiblity 
with the idea of forming a star.

Lately I have been exploring border ideas.
 With desires to finish this blue star block into a quilt top.

Today, I have added 2 borders which frame the star block & pictured below .

The photo below is a preview of another star formed sometime ago. 
This star is a center section of another class work quilt
 I believe, called Summer Stars. 
And one I plan to pull out of the bin
 and revisit to work on that quilt top .

I began to note how much better my work was flowing and as I kept up on my notes....
