Hello and Happy May! I have another Stonefields appliqué block to share with you, the first of two "Four Little Stars" blocks. It was quite fiddly but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

The other accomplishment I'm proud of is that I finally got over my fear of trimming down the oversized appliqué backgrounds on all of my completed blocks for this quilt, and no applique blocks were destroyed in the process! Now that all of my Stonefields blocks are 6 1/2" unfinished, it's easier to mix them up on the design wall and get a better feel for how this sampler quilt is taking shape. That will help me make decisions about which colors, prints, values to use more or less of in subsequent blocks. Stonefields is a sampler quilt pattern designed by Susan Smith, and this post contains affiliate links .

I'll document how I trimmed those blocks for Future Rebecca's benefit later in this post. First, let's talk about the Four Little Stars block.
