Originally, I had just planned to make a solids version of the Observatory Block of the Month, but I couldn’t get a rainbow ombre version out of my head. So, I’m making two—one out of Kona Solids and one with V and Co Fairy Dust Fabrics.

The Observatory Block of the Month will start on January 4, 2021. Lots of information on this post.

I plan to use the different shades in a single half yard for each of my oversized star blocks.

There are 32 colors of Fairy Dust—the selvage edges are dark, and then run to the lightest shade at the middle of the fabric.
