The Brilliant Star
The Brilliant Star has a very
bold print in the center block.
The center block is surrounded
by Triangles,
which make a
Square in a Square.
The star points are made from
Flying Geese
Patches. Four
Squares in
the corner, and the block is done.
(Review the
Star Lesson to
assemble the block)
I made this block large.
The center square was cut at 4 3/4 - inches.
The Triangles framing the
center square were cut from two squares (3 7/8 inches) cut on
the diagonal.
The Geese Units started with a
Rectangle of 6 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. (That would make the small
squares 3 1/2 inches)
The corner squares are also 3
1/2 inches.
This block will finish at 12
-inches (12 1/2 inches raw).
Large blocks like this make
patchwork quick. However, if you have studied your
lessons, and
done the
Challenge Blocks, you should have the skills to size it down.
