Festive Season Star

I'm pulling my Christmas themed quilts and toppers out of the closets. They are SO excited to see the light of day. I wanted something small to send my oldest sister who already has several quilts I've made for her. I don't want her to roll her eyes, but just welcome something small for her holiday table.

This is a block I made several years ago based on Katja Marek's calendar. It is the November 19 block and I chose Christmas fabrics from the Benartex Collection: Festive Season. I made this in late 2017.

Christmas Star Hexagon Block

I cheated and increased the size and rotary cut and stitched the patches! I drew it in Adobe Illustrator and figured out the sizes to cut. Of course I could piece it via EPP, but didn't want a little block. As you can see from this diagram, it will be 12" high and approximately 15" wide.

Size for cutting patches (it makes sense to me, btw)

And here it is with lovely borders added:

Christmas Hexie Star: 20" x 23"

So, this went from a small pieced 6" block to a lovely table topper to grace my sister's home. I am pretty sure she will love this. What do you think?
