Easy |
Quick Links: What you'll need Project steps
The final block for this year, appropriately for the Christmas season, is a star. It’s another clever visual puzzle that’s easier to make than it first appears.
About the quilt block
The final block for this year, appropriately for the Christmas season, is a star. It’s another clever visual puzzle that’s easier to make than it first appears.
As with several other blocks in this quilt, clever placement of contrasting fabrics creates the 3D look. It’s a striking design that would work well as a repeating motif on a quilt or as the central motif on a cushion cover. It would even make an eye-catching motif on the front of a patchwork bag or used to create a set of festive table mats.
By making this block, you’ll:
- Get to grips with the two-in-one-go and four-in-one-go methods of making half-square-triangle units – useful techniques for all your patchwork projects.
- Learn how to get around a tricky piecing issue by stitching a partial seam.
- Create another stylish 12in (30.5cm) finished-size block to add to your collection.
Note: stitch with an accurate ¼in (5mm) seam allowance.
Unfinished block size: 12½in (31.75cm) square.
