Easy HST Star Block Tutorial

If you have been quilting for a long time, I am sure you already made a lot of star patterns. There are so many variations and design patterns that you can easily find online nowadays. I saw this pattern while scrolling on YouTube last weekend and thought I should share it with you. It instantly caught my attention as it was different from the ones that I made before.

This HST star block by easy sewing is not that difficult to make, but it requires some time and effort since it has a lot of pieces. Unlike other star patterns, the center of this block is a simple 3.5-inch square. I absolutely love that it has the same color as some of the star points, which ties everything together. If you are looking for a new quilt project, definitely try this out.
