9 Patch Star Quilt –Sewing instructions

This kit will make one quilt top approximately 40’’X49’’ when complete.
Each unfinished block measures 9 ½’’ square.
(Sewing is always to be done with right sides together and a scant Ό’’ seam allowance)

Step 1. Assembling your blocks:
A.) Sew together a yellow triangle and a blue triangle together to form a 3’’ square. Press seam open towards darker fabric. You will need to do this (79) more times to make a total of 80 blocks.

Step 2. Laying out your blocks and sewing the rows:
A.) Layout your blocks on a flat smooth surface following the pattern above.
B.) Sew one blue block, one half & half triangle block (that you just finished from step 1) and another blue block together to make a row. You will need to do this (39) more times to make a total of 40 rows. Press, and set aside.
C.) Sew one half & half block (from step 1), one solid yellow block, and another half & half block together following the pattern laid out above to form a row. You will need to do this (19) more times to create 20 rows. Press and set aside.

Step 3. Assembling your rows into blocks:
A.) Layout one row with blue ends on top of a yellow centered row, right sides together and matching seams. Join together along the long side of the rows. Press seam open.
B.) Lay one row with blue ends over the piece you just created right sides together and matching seams. Join together along the long side of the row, press open.
You have just created your very first block!
C.) Repeat the above steps until you have created (20) blocks.

Step 4: Assembling your quilt top:
A.) Matching points and with right sides together, join two blocks together. Keep adding blocks until you have four in a row. Press open.
B.) Repeat step A until you have five rows.
C.) Join each row together with right sides together and matching points along the long side of the row. Press the seams to the dark side of the fabric. Keep adding rows until you have all five joined together.

Step 5: Adding borders
A.) Take one of the yellow long border pieces and lay it right sides together with the long side of your quilt top. Using a Ό’’ scant seam, sew along the long side of your quilt top to join the border with the quilt top.
B.) Repeat with the other side.
C.) Take a short yellow border strip and lay it along the top of your quilt, right sides together. Using your Ό’’ seam allowance sew it onto the top of your quilt.
D.) Repeat with the bottom piece.
Congratulations! You’re done with your quilt top!
