One of my shortcut blocks is my star point block. this is a unit or I call them blocks that you make by sewing fabric together and then cutting out a square from the center.

It is easy to do. This one takes a 30 degree cut so I do have templates I can send out for free upon request that will give you the 30 degree. but any ruler with a 30 degree on it will work just fine.

Here are the steps - I used scraps here but if you want to conserve fabric you can use triangles for this.

tote bag / hot pad/ billfold/ key chains/and the last 3 are bookmarks. These are just a few.

I named this design on the tote bag - Birds in Flight
