Today's block not only uses a Split half square triangle, but it also uses a variation of the four path block. I call this block Star Flower:
For this block I started with the following cuts:
Two 3 7/8 squares large star points (cut in half diagonally). One 4 1/4 inch square for small star points (cut in half diagonally both ways). One 3 1/2 square for center. Four 2 inch squares green accent. From Background cut four 2 inch squares, four 2 x 31/2 inch rectangles, and one 4 1/2 inch square (cut in half both ways diagonally).
Sew the quarter square triangle units together in pairs. Sew all four of them facing the same direction as shown:
Sew the large half square triangles to these to complete your split half square triangle units.
Sew the two inch squares together into pairs, then pair them with the 2 x 3 1/2 inch rectangles and sew to complete the corner units and lay out as so:
I didn't like how dark the center looked, so I changed it out for bright yellow and was much happier with the look of it!
Sew together, press and admire your block!
Next week I'll have a new unit and block for you to make. I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am - I can't wait to put my quilt top together- it's going to be so pretty. Thanks for following along!
