Stars are one of my favorite motifs for quilt blocks. There are so many different kinds. This one uses flip and sew triangles.
You will need:
4 - 2 x 3.5 inch rectangles of dark teal
4 - 2 inch squares of accent fabric - I used teal flowers
8 - 2 inch squares of background fabric
Place one square of background fabric on the top of each teal rectangle and draw a line from corner to corner on the background square. Sew on the line and then flip, press and trim away the extra fabric behind the seam.
Next sew the last 4 squares of background fabric to the 4 squares of accent fabric. Press away from the background fabric.
Match each flip and sew rectangle to the two patch making sure the background fabrics touch one another. Sew an press away from the dark fabric.
Arrange the four subunits as shown so that the star points rotate. Sew as you would a four patch.
There you go -- another quick and easy block.
