How to Make Studio Star Quilt

Step 1:

Pick two contrasting fabrics and lay them on top of each other. Cut 1 piece of 2 1/2″ square and 4 pieces of 4 1/2″ strips.

Step 2:

Sew each of the remaining strips onto a 2 1/2″ white strip. Do not open yet.

Step 3:

From the remaining white strips, cut 2 1/2″ squares. You will need 8 of the 2 1/2″ white squares for each block.

Step 4:

Stack the two units from step 2. Cut 8 pieces of 2 1/2″ units and press them open.

Step 5:

Take one 4 1/2″ strips and one of the contrasting units. Sew them together. Repeat 3 more times using the same fabric. Make sure they are all the same. Press them open.

Step 6:

Take 8 pieces of 2 1/2″ squares and press them in half diagonally to make a crease. Place two on the corners of the units just like in the photo below. Sew directly on the lines. Trim excess and press open.

Step 7:

Arrange the pieces just like in the photo below. Sew them in rows first. Once done, sew the rows together to make the block.
