OUR BLOCK #11: SHOOTING STAR (6″ Finished)

……

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

As you can see, we changed up our block this week! We used the 12″ cutting instructions to create a single 6″ star block. If you’d like to make a SHOOTING STAR like ours, follow the instructions below…

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Eliminate cutting for [A], [B], and [C].
• (8) 1 1/2″ cream squares [D]
• (2) 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ green rectangles [E]
• (2) 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ red rectangles [F]
• (1) 1 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ green rectangle [G]
• (1) 1 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ red rectangle [H]
• (4) 2 1/2″ cream squares [I]

PIECING INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the provided MODA Pattern Sheet with the following edits…

• Step 1: Make (2) D/E units and (2) D/F units. Join to make (2) D/E/F units measuring 2 1/2″.
• Step 2: Make (1) D/G unit and (1) D/H unit.
• Step 3: Make (1) D/G/H unit measuring 2 1/2″ x 6 1/2″.
• Step 4: SKIP
• Step 5: Follow, as is.

After STEP 5, simply add your partial star units to each side of your D/G/H unit as shown in the photos. VOILA! You have a new 6″ star block for your Blockheads setting!
