Materials

• 4 pieces of 2 1/2″ strips
• 1/2 yard of contrasting star leg fabric
• 3/4 yard of background fabric
• 3/4 yard of outer border
• 3 yards of backing

Instructions

Step 1:

Get four pieces of 2 1/2″ strips and sew them together in a row. Once done, press it flat. Cut 2 1/2″ strips from the unit strip.

Step 2:

Get four of the strips that you cut and sew them together in a block with 1/4 inch seam allowance. Repeat the process to make four of this block.

Step 3:

Sew the four blocks in pairs. Once done, sew them together to make a giant four patch.

Step 4:

Cut 9 inch squares from your contrasting leg fabric and background fabric into 9 inch squares. Get four squares for each fabric. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on the background squares. Lay them on the colored squares right sides together. Sew 1/4″ away from both sides of the line. Cut directly on the drawn line and press them open.

Step 5:

Arrange the half squares triangles in pairs so the whites are in the middle just like in the photo below. Sew them together with 1/4″ seam allowance to make four sets.

Step 6:

Place the four patch in the middle and put the legs on the sides. Cut four pieces of 8 1/2″ background squares and place them on the corners of the stars. Sew them in rows first. Once done, sew the rows together. Lastly, add 5 1/2″ border to your star. Quilt, bind it and enjoy sewing.
