Step 2. Place second pink square on
other end of dark red rectangle with marked line going in opposite direction
(see Diagram III-A). Stitch, press, and trim as in #1 to complete 1
triangle unit (see Diagram III-B). Make 4 triangle units.
Step 3. Sew triangle units to opposite
sides of 3 1/2" floral print square (see Diagram IV-A). Add 2"
green stripe squares to ends of 2 remaining triangle units (see Diagram
IV-B). Join these to top and bottom of square/triangle unit to complete
center part of block (see Diagram V).
Step 4. Sew a white triangle to each side of
a 2 5/8" floral print square to form a larger triangle (see Diagram
VI-A). Join 1 dark red triangle and 1 dark green print triangle to each
other. Make 2 (see Diagram VI-B). Add these triangles to sides of pieced
triangle above to form a rectangle (see Diagram VI-C). Make 4 units.
Step 5. Sew 1 rectangle unit to top
and bottom of center part of quilt block (see Diagram VII-A). Sew 3
1/2" white squares to ends of 2 remaining rectangle units (see
Diagram VII-B). Add these to sides of quilt center of complete star
block (see Diagram VII-C).
Step 6. For inner border, use
1 1/4" x 2" dark green rectangles and 1 1/4" white
print squares to construct 2 triangle units as in #1 and #2 (see Diagrams
I, II, and III). Add 6" white print strips to each side of triangle
units to make side borders (see Diagram VIII). Attach borders to sides
of star block, matching points in center of block (see Diagram IX).
Trim borders even with top and bottom of quilt. Add 14" white
print strips to top and bottom of quilt, and trim even with sides.
