Star Sampler Quilt Along – Block 7

I’m excited for block seven.  This is the first time I have made it and I really like it.  It’s called the Four Patch Star.

 CUTTING AND FABRIC

Fabric 1 – Background – (4) 2 1/2 in. x 4 1/2 rectangles and (12) 2 1/2 in squares

Fabric 2 – Light Blue – (4) 2 1/2 in squares

Fabric 3 – Dark Blue Dot – (4) 2 1/2 in x 4 1/2 in squares

Fabric 4 – Stripe – (4) 2 1/2 in x 6 1/2 squares

STEP 1

On eight of the 2 1/2 in. background squares draw a diagonal line. 

STEP 2

Lay your marked squares on Fabric 2 and Fabric 3 rectangles.  Sew along the lines.

STEP 3

Trim and press open.

STEP 4

Sew remaining four Background squares to Fabric one squares. Press open.

STEP 5

Sew the two patch to the Background rectangle.  Press.

STEP 6

Now, sew the Fabric 2 rectangle onto the Step 6 block.  Pres.

STEP 7

Lastly, sew your 2 1/2 in x 6 1/2 in. block to your Step 6 rectangle. Press.  Make three more of these blocks and sew together to finish your Four Patch Star Block.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this one!
