star quilt along, week 10

Welcome to week 10 of the quilt along.

This is one of my favorites.

cut one square 7 1/4" from the background fabric

cut in half on the diagonal twice, to make 4 quarter square triangles

cut one square 4 1/4" from the background fabric

cut in half on the diagonal twice, to make 4 quarter square triangles

cut 4 squares 3 1/2" from the background fabric

cut 2 squares 3 7/8" from the background fabric

cut the (3 7/8") squares in half on the diagonal once to make 4 half square triangles

cut one square 4 1/4" from a dark fabric

cut in half on the diagonal twice, to make 4 quarter square triangles

cut 4 squares 3 7/8" from the same dark fabric

cut the squares in half on the diagonal once to make 8 half square triangles

layout as shown


I pressed these seams open to reduce bulk in the center

trim the tails here, if desired




Once the block is sewn together, square up to 12.5".

Thanks for quilting along with me!
