Ohio Star Quilt Block
"Learn how to sew an Ohio Star Quilt Block. The Ohio Star is one of my favorite quilt blocks! The history of this quilt block dates back to quilts created in the 1800s. But because this block can use small scraps of fabrics, it gained popularity during the Depression era of the 1930s. The Ohio Star quilt block appears in Depression era and post-Depression quilts. This quilt block was a popular pattern among Scottish and Irish immigrants in the Midwest and frequently used by Amish quilters."
