Star Puzzle Quilt Block. Free Sewing Pattern and Tutorial. This block is made up entirely of half-square triangles, and we will be making two 12 inch blocks (12.5 inches unfinished), without sashing. This diagram gives you the arrangement of colours in the block.
As usual, the blank areas are sewn from background fabric:
Cool palette:
Warm palette:
Cut the following for each block:
Let’s make those HSTs. Draw a diagonal line across the wrong side of the eight 4.5” background squares, and put them in pairs with the colour 1 and colour 2 squares:
Sew a scant 1/4” from each side of the drawn line on each pair, then cut along the line to make two HSTs:
Press with the seam towards the darker fabric, and trim to 3.5” x 3.5”, making sure the 45º line on your ruler is in line with the seam. You will end up with eight HSTs in each colour:
Lay out the pieces according to the block diagram and sew together. Easy peasy!
