for the busy bees bee.
Things I learned while making this block:
*being original comes at a price, namely the amount time involved and the number of times a seamripper is used.
*equilateral triangles would be easier to work with than the offset triangles I used in this block.
*to play around with the pieces of a block before starting to sew them together, there may be a better combination that will take the design from good to fantastic.
*perfection is overrated.
I hope you all have a chance to get creative today!

I would call it pretty. And yes, perfection is overrated!

I'd call it fantastically beautiful and creative! Just love it! Sorry I'm not more helpful! lol

Great look. I'd go with shooting star. It looks like it's on the move.

I love it! It's like a wonky Star of David.

Beautiful! I have zero creativity when it comes to naming things, so I'm no help there. I do, however, love imperfections in handmade items!

Shifty Hexagons? There are a few leaning hexes in there but you see triangles so obviously they are very sneaky hexagons.
Unbelievably gorgeous too!

I'd called it FABULOUS! It's lovely, Penny!

Oh, wow! That is a fantastic block! The design is amazing and very original looking. Kind of reminds me of a dodecahedron.

those are good lessons to learn, and then do the original thing anyway. i think it looks great.

Very Cool Penny!

that is quite interesting...I like it! Talk about creative license, totally fun. I must try it myself, since I certainly have many pieces to play with. Thanks!

This is really cool how the triangles overlap with the little and bigger ones! Cool idea!
Posted by: melissa | 02 July 2010 at 04:31 PM
I call it super cool! That turned out fabulous.

I like your last bullet. Great triangle combination for a star burst.
Posted by: Angie | 05 July 2010 at 08:33 PM
I call it perfect!
Posted by: sheree | 12 July 2010 at 08:45 AM
I have to say, this is beautiful and eye catching. "Star burst" was the firt thing that popped into my mind when I saw it... beautiful!

Great block! So much talent! How about "Peaks and Valleys"?
