Today on the John Deere-inspired sampler quilt series Iâm wrapping things up with a nod to heritage and farmland: the classic Ohio Star. In this video I walk you through constructing this timeless block step-by-stepâperfect for capturing that rustic, country charm we love in quilting.
Why Ohio Star for the finale? It echoes the strong lines and simple geometry of farm equipment and fieldsâthink sweeping rows, bold colours, and every triangle telling a story. I talk through accurate cutting, pressing for crisp points, and how to choose fabrics that echo your nostalgic farmland vibe. Whether your colours lean toward deep greens and golden yellows (hello John Deere!), or soft pastels to honour tradition, the Ohio Star gives you that âhomespun meets heirloomâ look.
If youâve been following the sampler series, this block brings it all together: itâs bold, memorable, and easy enough that you can complete it in one session. So grab your O-scissors, your favorite green and cream fabrics, a fresh cup of tea, and letâs make a star block youâll be proud to see every season. Donât forget to pin it, share it, and â above all â enjoy the journey!
