How to Make Crow’s Foot Quilt Block:

Step 1

Download the pattern, then cut the fabric as instructed, and line the wrong side of the small print squares diagonally from corner to corner. For the center star, get the B rectangle and E squares, then place one square on one side of the rectangle with their right sides facing, and stitch them diagonally along the line.

Step 2

Cut away the excess with ¼ inch seam allowance, then sew another square on the other side, and press it nicely. Do the same for the rest to complete 4 flying geese units, then stitch a white square on each end of the 2 flying geese units, and stitch them on all sides of the center square pressing the seams as you go.

Step 3

Get the H rectangles and D squares, then divide them into two sets, for the first set, place a square on one end of the rectangle. Stitch them diagonally, then trim off the outer corners with ¼ inch seam allowance, and press them nicely. Do the same for the second set but place the squares on the opposite end, then match them together to form a triangle in the middle, and stitch them on the shorter side.

Step 4

Get the C and G fabrics, then sew a square on both sides of the rectangle diagonally, and trim off the excess pressing the seams as you go. Assemble everything as shown in the pattern, then stitch them per section and then the sections to each other, and press it nicely.
