Star Point Squares Tutorial
1 Attachment(s)
Star Points are one of my shortcut methods that make piecing easier and gives you intricate looks with easy steps.
You do have to have a template to make these. Then once you make the star point squares you sew them into a quilt block of your choice to make a quilt or other project. For a 12 1/2" quilt block you need a 2 1/2" template. [ATTACH=CONFIG]504780[/ATTACH] Here is my BOM for Jan that uses this star point square. You can find a free quilt design in this BOM http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...m-t259177.html |

Tried a couple out of trash fabric. I assume they are supposed to measure 2-1/2 when finished? The first one I don't get my 2-1/2 inch square far enough into the corner before trimming so 1 seam allowance is not a full 1/4 , the second one did better. I matched up the 2 side seams and put a crease in the hot pink fabric so I would know where to place my square corner. Thanks for the tutorial![ATTACH=CONFIG]504825[/ATTACH]

I would have never figured out how to make this without the tutorial. Thanks a bunch. It is a very interesting block. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for us in 2015.

I was thinking that this would work well with the 2 1/2" strips they sell. The center rectangle is a bit longer than the outer ones. the length doesn't really matter as long as you are longer than needed rather than shorter. I was just trying to get a rectangle that wasn't going to leave too much fabric leftovers. The width of the yellow is important or you will have a wider star point in the middle and that may make you lose the side fabrics when the squares are sewn together. I have alot of free quilt blocks posted you can use these with. Let me see if I can round them up and give you links to find them all. |
