This quilt block is a lovely and neat pattern that you can use to make a table runner, table topper, or whatever you want. Once done with this project, you can sell it, give it as a gift, or use it personally to decorate your home. What I love about this pattern is that you can easily personalize it by playing with any color combinations that you want to make the pattern really pop!

How to Make a Medina Fall Star Quilt Block:

Step 1

Download the template and cut them out, then use a tracing wheel or a piece of cardboard to make a fold along the lines, and cut the fabrics that will cover the paper piece plus ½-inch extra all around. Place the fabric on the back of the template, pin it securely, and stitch it from the front. Fold the paper back along the A1 and A2 lines, and trim the fabric at ¼-inch from the fold.

Step 2

Add the next pieces using the same steps, then once done piecing everything, trim off all the excess fabric and paper on all sides. Piece the next template pieces using the same process, then arrange the quilted pieces into a block as demonstrated in the video, and join the pieces into pairs before stitching them.

Step 3

After stitching each pair, sew them to each other and make sure to press as you go, then proceed to make 3 more block units for a total of 4. Arrange the units together into a single block as shown in the video, then stitch them per row, and stitch the rows to each other making sure to press as you go.
