OOh, I saw this on the Free Spirit blog this morning but didnt' realize it was your design–it's fabulous! I was looking to see if there was an EQ7 rendering of multiple blocks together–I'd like to see the secondary designs. It looks like there might be diamonds so how about Starlit Diamonds for a name?
B Greene
I think I would name a block Norphastaria in honor of a kindergartener at my last school. I am so glad I named my son Andy – that is all he could handle when learning to write – ha ha!! Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous charm pack!!
Fiesta
Across the sky. Thank you for the chance to win.
knottygnome
hmm, i'd be tempted by something silly, like Supa-Star!
Jodi
Tough question – ummmmm. I haven't yet designed one, and can't for the life of me be clever right now!
Carmen Nuland
I'd name it Pleiades
pizzaeater
I would name my star, Star Bright, Star Light.
VickiT
OOh that's easy. If I were to create a star block it would be named after my newest Granddaughter who just turned 5 months old. It would be named "Alexia's Star".
Great block you've created. Thank you.
Sowing Stitches
I call my star block, Van Gogh's Twinkle…in tribute to his delightful painting Starry Night.

If I designed a star block I would name it twinkle star
Gill
Twinkle, twinkle!!!
quilt happy
shooting star. thanks for the giveaway
ritainalaska
i would call my star a winter star … winter nights bring stars closer and brighter, so i'd make it a big block star on a midnight blue backgound. looking forwar to more exciting blox like yours on this hop!
Naomi
"Starlight Rising" is what I would call a star block that I had designed.
Julie
I am absolutely no good with naming anything !!! Even my pets have such bland names!!! I would pick something like sunshine star or starburst star — those two names really pop out at me 🙂
Laura
I guess I would name it Gabi's Star since my 7 year old keeps telling me she wants to be a star but can't because she has stage fright.
Janet
Hmm… there are so many star blocks and many names are already in use. How about Alpha Centauri… Of course the block would have to reflect the splendour of the sun as does the real star.
Homemaker Honey
Razzle Dazzle – sounds like a good star quilt block name to me.
Deborah

kitblu
Thanks for engaging my brain. I went through a few iterations and ended with 'Star-til Sunrise', which can be either 'Star until Sunrise' or 'Startle Sunrise'. And now … the actual design…hmmmm??
Melody
It would be so exciting to have a little Matilda star twinkling away – named after my little poodle of course.
Kimberly Cassie
How about Star Power? Great question…I'm sure it will be on my mind for a while. I love your block…modern and feastive. Thanks for sharing your block and the giveaway!

When I first opened the email I looked and thought it was beautiful and i have no idea how I can make it!!! I still have to finish block 8. Your tutorial though looks fantastic and after reading it I feel less worried about having a go. Now I am off to hunt through my fabrics as I am feeling excited about making this!!!
Jo
A tricky one that one. I think maybe Wonder-star. The theme of stars conjure the image of unknown and curiosity to me. I like the block, but I am glad I'm a little behind on the QAL as this one looks like it may be a challenge!
DianeY
I'll be real original & go for Waikiki Starlight!
Marcia W.
Star Sprite
this looks like a challenging block
Nancy
I would title my star block "Heavenly Luminescence."
Ullhärvan
Star struck would be great!
Carrie P.
great block pattern. I have been following along but have been to busy to make my own blocks.
I would call my star Sirius!
Jennifer Gail
Pretty! I would name a star block Star Light.
sandyb
I would call call my star Aedan's light – my grandson's name is Aedan – the Irish name for warmth/fire. He is my little fire light. (actually at 20 months old spit fire)
Thank you

I would name my star Miranda.

preeminent star!

In honor of my grandaughter who I love to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to, I would name it…"my stinky little star"!

how about midnight star for the midnight blue that would be around…
Sandy
I would name a Block "Star Gazer"….

Love your star, another awesome Jane design!

I would call it "Stellar" – thanks for the chance to win!
verykerryberry
If I was feeling a bit 1980s I might add a Z for Starz- sounds like a bad nightclub or bar!
PBPatch
I'd call mine "I'm a Star". Maybe that would help my self-confidence!
Gwen
I would name my block "Light Up My Life"– in honor of my granddaughter, Clarabel– who has brought me such joy in her 14 months! 🙂 And, I would make a quilt of those blocks and call it "Clarabel's Constellation". 🙂 Thank you so much for the chance to win!!!

Inspired Twinkles. I guess, I am not very good at naming stuff. Usually I am just happy I could make the thing look half way good. thanks for the chance to win some awesome squishy mail.
Cliodana
dreaming star! Are anybody dreaming when they look at the star?? will be a beautiful name. Thank's for the giveaway, your block is awesome.
Cassandra
Your block is really cool! It reminds me of a kaleidescope.
I'm too new to be designing anything. lol. I'd probably call it something like Starry Nights or Stars in the Heavens. Depends on what fabric I was using, probably!
audrey
Startling Good!
Annabanana
So cool ! I'd pick "Star Of Wonder" for a name.
