QM Patterns: Ben's Star


 Instructions

Half-square triangle foundation papers make piecing speedy and accurate. Thangles™ come in many sizes, including 4" finished, and are perfect for this quilt.

Step 1 Making the Quilt Top

Follow the block piecing diagram to make 4 blocks. Join the blocks, orienting them as shown.

Sew the side strips for the inner squared border to the quilt. Repeat for the top and bottom strips.

Join the A's to make the pieced border strips. Sew these to the quilt in the same order as you did for the squared border.
