Single Star Quilt
2 Attachment(s)
Here are instructions to make a quilt with a single large star. The Star finishes at 48". Borders can be added to enlarge. The photo shows a quilt with 4" borders.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]383701[/ATTACH] There are 2 star colors and one background. For a 48" star ONLY (no border or backing, but there will be enough for a scrappy binding): 1 1/8 yard background 3/4 yard star color A 3/4 yard star color B From the background fabric, cut 4 13.5" squares and 4 12.5" squares From both the main star colors, cut 4 13.5" squares Make 6 pairs using the 13.5" squares as follows: 2 Sets one A and one B square 2 sets one A and one Background square 2 sets one B and one Background square Make the HSTs: Take 2 13.5" squares and place them right sides together. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner. Sew a seam on each side of the line, 1/4" from the line. Cut on the line Press Cut the resultant HSTs down to 12.5" Assemble the HSTs and squares using this picture as a guide: [ATTACH=CONFIG]383702[/ATTACH] HST note: you usually add only 7/8" to the finished size to cut the starting squares, which would be 12 7/8". Because of the large size, I had problems, so I cut them larger, 13.5". Background Yardage note: If you only have 1 yard of background fabric, you could cut the squares from all the fabrics at 11" and 12" (rather than 12.5" & 13.5"). Use the 12" squares for the HSTs, recutting them to 11" The squares will finish at 10.5", which would make the whole star 42" rather than 48". |

I was just looking for a nice big star to use in the center of a quilt. I could have gotten it eventually, but now I don't have to do the math! Your colors are very pretty!
