Hive ONE for July - Shonna's Star Block
Shonna would like her Hive to make her a Four Pointed Star block.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Cut 4 squares of a modern print (9” x 9” each).
2)
Cut 8 rectangles of a solid fabric that contrasts with the print (4-5” x
10”).
3)
Lay a piece of solid (right side to right side) on the square between
the top left and bottom right corners.
(You choose exactly where, everyone’s will be a little bit different.) Sew a ¼” seam on the solid.
Cut ¼” from seam.
Flip solid and iron.
Trim block back to
9” x 9”.
(Having trouble visualizing this? Keep in mind paper piecing; when you flip the
solid you need to make sure it will completely cover the top right corner of
the square.)
4)
Lay a second piece of solid fabric on the square, right sides together. One corner on the right side and one
overlapping the solid color already sewed on.
Sew a ¼” seam on the solid.
Cut ¼” from seam. Flip solid and iron. Trim block back to 9” x 9”.
5)
Repeat for the other 3 squares.
Flip the squares so that solids make a star in the center. The points will not all line up, no
worries. Sew the top-left and top-right
squares together. Sew the bottom-left
and bottom-right squares together. Line
up the middle seam and sew the top and bottom together.
