Progress Report


I have had a busy weekend putting into place some of the preparation work to make these large star blocks.  This block is pieced from just plain squares and Half  Square Triangle blocks.  Putting all these pieces together though is not as difficult or confusing as it looks.

 FOUR-PATCH BLOCKS - Measuring 4.5 inches incl. seam allowances

Ultimately each of these large star blocks is made up from just two different four-patch blocks that alternate and rotate as required.  Eight of both of these four patch blocks are needed to make up one of the large star blocks.

Measuring 16.5 inches square
These blocks have been fun to make and look quite a spectacle  together.  My scrap bin has been a great source for most of the printed fabrics but I can't see the bottom yet.  Four blocks are finished, five more to go!
