Finished quilt measures 12” x 12”

Before You Begin

•Print 4 copies of the templates (found below) at 100%, add 1/4” seam allowance and cut out. There are 2 templates per page (A & B), so you will have 8 templates. You can use a lightweight paper such as newsprint, tracing paper, or use regular printer paper (it will just be a little more effort to tear the papers off).

•Remember to measure twice, cut once!

Tips For Paper-piecing

•Place your fabric on the unprinted side of the template and sew on the printed side.

•You can transfer lines to the opposite side of the paper with a tracing wheel, or by folding and creasing your paper.

•Use a short stitch length (about a 1.5).

•Backstitch in the seam allowance at the beginning and ending of each seam.

•Trim seam allowance to 1/4” after each seam and press flat with a dry iron. This will keep your seams crisp and your quilt flat.

-From the two background squares: Cut 4 squares 5” x 5” from each fabric, then cut the 5” squares diagonally to make triangles.

-From the two center star squares: Cut 2 strips 2 1/2” x 10” from each fabric, then cut into rectangles 2 1/2” x 5”.

-From the 10 star strip squares: Cut 4 strips 1” x 10” from each fabic, then cut each strip in half so they measure 1” x 5”.
