The specific block doesn't show up very well in the photo so here's a crop for detail-
Rocky Road to Kansas also resembles Week 2's Amethyst, though for this one, traditionally, the four points are randomly string pieced on foundations.
To make this week's block distinctly different from the Amethyst, I decided to piece the points. I foundation pieced them to make use of some hand dyed yellow fabrics that I had only small scraps of.
I don't know why I had the yellow and gold striped fabric in my collection, but it was fun to piece it to make concentric squares for the center of the block. Dorry sent me the rich dotted green batik that lets my twisty golden yellow star glow in the dark.

and glow in the dark, it does. Very bright and cheerfule. Good contrast!
Wow! That has pizazz!
This weeks block was a challenge to make it distinct from week 2. You did a great job and also honored the traditional style of string piecing. The deep green makes for a great way to highlight the yellow star.
That block is spectacular - I love the center and the pieced points and the background. It's the perfect confluence of design and fabrics.
