Instructions:

Step 1:

Get one print square and cut it in half horizontally and vertically to make 4 small squares. Repeat with all the remaining squares.

Step 2:

Take 2 solid 5″ squares and 2 printed squares. Arrange them in a block with the print and solid alternating. Sew them with a quarter of an inch seam allowance to make a 4-patch. Flip and press the seams. You need 28 pieces of this block.

Step 3:

Get one print and one solid square. Place them on top of each other, right sides together. Sew all the way around with a quarter of an inch, then cut diagonally in both directions. Trim the half-square triangles into 2 3/4″ squares.

Step 4:

Arrange the blocks as shown below and sew them together. There will be 2 stars. For the first star, you need 12 and for the second, you need 16.

Step 5:

Arrange the stars and four patches. The four patches will always be on your left for the first row. Alternate it on the second row. Repeat the first two rows until you have seven across by eight down, for a total of 56 blocks.

Step 6:

Sew border, bind, quilt, and enjoy!
