Star blocks make the perfection addition to any Christmas quilt! This block would be extra special with a fussy cut center.

This block finishes at 6" or 12" square.

Instructions list the dimensions for the 12" block in brackets.

6" Block 12" Block
From background fabric, cut (1) 3½” square, (4) 2⅜" squares cut once on the diagonal to create 8 triangles, and (4) 2" squares From background fabric, cut (1) 6½” square, (4) 3⅞" squares cut once on the diagonal to create 8 triangles, and (4) 3½" squares

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!
