Brighten Your Quilt Project with a Sun In a Star

| July 19, 2025 | Paper Piecing, Quilt Blocks
The Block is Beautiful in Other Colors Too!
Add a spot of sunshine to your next project with this eye-catching block. A twirling sun within a Sawtooth Star creates a memorable block that is sure to be noticed.
Of course, the block will be striking in other color themes. Depending on the colors you choose, the “sun” can become a twirling star that adds movement to any quilt project.
The block is created using foundation paper piecing. You’ll find excellent FPP instructions here.
Designer Ingrid Alteneder from Joe June and Mae provides templates and instructions for the following block sizes:
- 6“x 6“ (6 ½“ x 6 ½“ unfinished)
- 8”x 8” (8 ½“ x 8 ½“ unfinished)
- 9”x 9” (9 ½“ x 9 ½“ unfinished)
- 10“x 10“ (10 ½“ x 10 ½“ unfinished)
- 12”x 12” (12 ½“ x 12 ½“ unfinished)
