Make Something Scrappy with This Charming Block
It Will be Wonderful in a Coordinated Palette, Too!
This woven star block is so charming and will be great in many types of projects. There are four sizes to choose from, so you can make a mini quilt, pillow, wall hanging, table runner, full-size quilt, and more. It’s also a wonderful design for scraps.
There are no Y-seams used in the block’s construction. The pattern was written for paper piecing, which will produce crisp and accurate results. However, more experienced quilters can deconstruct the design and make it with standard piecing.
If you’ve not tried paper piecing before or have struggled with it in the past, this is an easy project for learning and perfecting the process. Learn more about paper piecing and get instructions here.
The designer, Mariesa Morgan from Ten Cow Quilts, provides instructions for four block sizes:
- 5″ finished (5 1/2″ unfinished)
- 6″ finished (6 1/2″ unfinished)
- 8″ finished (8 1/2″ unfinished)
- 10″ finished (10 1/2″ unfinished)
