2019 Gypsy Wife Quilt Along - Section 8 Star Block




Cutting directions for this Star Block can be found on page 11 of your pattern book.

I jumped right in and made the four corner HSTs and forgot to take pictures.  But again, we have made these units before.  Place your squares facing each other, draw the diagonal line, and sew 1/4in on either side of the line.  Cut on the line and press open for HSTs.



Next we make the 5 hourglass blocks that make up the remainder of this Star Block.  

Lay out your triangles and sew the two light and dark triangles together.  Press open to the dark side.   Then lay the them opposite colors touching and sew your hourglass together. Repeat for all 5 units.


  


Lay out your units to form the block

    
Sew the units together across the block.
Then sew the top row to the middle row..

  

Lastly, sew the bottom row to the top/middle rows to complete the block.
