Block:
I've chosen an improv star block for my month as queen bee. I'm using a tutorial from I'm Feelin Crafty, which you can read here. Our blocks will be larger, finishing at 8.5 inches.
Please make 3 blocks. (If you are struggling with the curves, just make two and send me a 8.5 square of dark blue fabric as your third. But I believe in you! Curves aren't as bad as you think!)
Fabric selection:
Colors: dark blue and yellow. Solids, batiks, and prints all go. Please make sure it reads clearly as being blue/yellow.
Cutting: for each block, you will need one 10.5" square of dark blue and one 7.5-8.5" square of yellow. The yellow depends on the size of star you want to make!
Assembly:
See the tutorial here for detailed instructions. One note on curves: if you're starting out or a bit nervous, try to cut a wider, straighter angle: it will help you. The block on the left is easier to piece, the block on the right is trickier!
Once you've sewn all the corners back on, press and trim down to 8.5 inches square. A wonky angle is okay!
Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get my stars 🤩
