About the 8-point Star Deluxe block
Many old quilt blocks layer a second smaller star inside the first to create depth. On a barn quilt the effect reads like a sunburst from the road.
Use this version when you want the 8-Point Star feel but with room for three or four colors instead of two.
Tips for painting a 8-point Star Deluxe barn quilt
Tape the inner star last so the outer points stay crisp.
Use two values of the same hue (a lighter and darker mustard, say) for a subtle glow.
