setting blocks

Since several of you have asked, I am posting the instructions for the setting blocks for the star quilt along so you can work on them at your leisure. If you are making the quilt as shown, you will need 12 setting blocks.


cut 6 strips 2.5" x the width of fabric from a printed fabric
cut 6 strips 2.5" x the width of fabric from the background fabric

sew together using a quarter inch seam allowance

cut 2 1/2" segments

make four patches
you will need 4 four patches for each setting block, for a total of 48 four patches.

cut 4 squares 4 1/2" for each setting block from the background, for a total of 48 squares
cut 1 square 4 1/2" for each setting block from the printed fabric, for a total of 12 squares

layout as shown

sew together and square up the blocks to 12.5".

I think all those numbers are right. Let me know if you encounter any errors.
Happy quilting!
