Construction

Star block: Rounds 1 thru 5:From EACH of 17 prints (You will be cutting on the length fabric, parallel to the selvage for strength and to minimize stretching) * LOF= 31½" approximately From 1–LOFx 22"piece Cut 10–LOF x 2" strips for stars

Setting triangles & final border:First Cut 1–31½"x WOF strip Cut strip in half at fold From 1–31½"x 22" cut 10 – 31½"x 2" strips for stars (see above) From second half cut 4–15½x 9½ rectangles for borders. From remaining fabricCut 7–8¼"x WOF for setting triangles Cut 4–5½"x WOF strips for border Cut 5–3"x WOF strips for border

Binding:Cut 9–2½"x WOF strips

1 Each Star block is made up of 5 rounds of prints. To make 2 blocks select: (LOF = 31½" approximately) Round One: 1–2"x LOF strip Round Two: 2–2"x LOF strips Round Three: 3–2"x LOF strips Round Four: 4–2"x LOF strips Round Five: 5–2"x LOF strips

2 Then join the strip sets, stagger them ¾". Align the 60⁰ line of the ruler on a seam in the strip set, trim the uneven edge. Cut each strip set into 12 units, aligning the 60⁰ line on a seam and the 2" line with the trimmed edge, for 2" wide units. Repeat with each strip set.

3 Combine the strip sets. Make one of each strip set. Press in one direction. Cut into 12 units.

4 Combine sets to make 12 sections. Press in one direction. Make 12.

Pin fabric strips into 12 groups of: 5 (of 1 print), 4 (of 1 print), 3 (of 1 print), 2 (of 1 print) & 1 print. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to make 23 Star blocks.

5 Join 6 sections to make one star block. Align the 7¾" line on a ruler with the center of the block. Trim the block edges. Move around the block trimming the edges. Makes 2 blocks. Repeat to make 23 Star blocks..

6 Use a 60⁰ triangle ruler to cut 36 setting triangles and 20 half triangles from 7–8¼"x WOF strips. From 5 strips cut 7 triangles From 2 strips cut a total of 1 triangle and 10–8¼"x 7¾" rectangles. Using the 60⁰ triangle ruler cut 2 half triangles from each rectangle. Align ruler's left seam line, the one left of dashed center line, and long edge of rectangle to cut 1 half triangle. Rotate rectangle and cut a second half triangle. Cut 10 left half triangles. Then cut 10 right half triangles using the right seam line. See diagram.

7 Assemble the quilt top using the diagram for reference. 8 Add the 2–3" side borders. Add the 2–5½" top & bottom borders. Measure across the center of the quilt for the length of the borders. Layer, quilt, bind and enjoy your quilt!
