Pink stars quilt along block #10

Today is the very last block in our little quilt along!
It is called “variable star” and is just like the first block...
Except for the color choices.
🙂

You will need (from top left ...counter clockwise)

One (1) 3 1/2” square - medium pink
Four (4) 3 1/2” squares - background

One (1) 4 3/4” square - background
One (1) 4 3/4” square - medium pink
Two (2) 4 3/4” squares - dark pink

Take all four larger squares (4 3/4”)
Stack right side up.
Cut twice diagonally.

Each set of triangles makes ONE hourglass block.

Sew four hourglass blocks together.

Trim to 3 1/2” x 3 1/2”

Arrange them into this beautiful star block!
Make TWO.

If you’ve been following along you will have 20 star blocks.

We’ll be adding sashing next.

  4. Hi Beth, I have enjoyed creating the pink stars quilt with you this summer. I actually made two quilts. With being introduced to one quilt block a week I decided to use two different color combinations. Green and Yellow and Blue and yellow with a little extra color now and again. All fabric used is from my stash, nothing new was purchased. I will be quilting them this next week. Thank you for making this easy and fun to complete. I was hoping to attach pictures of the pieced tops but not sure how to accomplish this. I really loved making each block. It is not perfect but it is completed. Thank you
