Scrappy Framed Stars

The fourth block in the 2007 Anniversary Sampler Quilt is this Scrappy Framed Star block. Like the other sampler quilt blocks, it finishes at 12" square.

The quilt block features a pinwheel at its center, made from four half-square triangle units. The pinwheel is surrounded by darker star tips using "flying geese-like" units. A scrappy patchwork frame is sewn around the block's outer perimeter.

The colors in the illustration help me explain which units go where; choose fabrics and colors that work with your quilt's theme.

From neutral background fabric, cut:

  • four 3" x 3" squares
  • four 3" x 5-1/2" rectangles
  • two 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" squares*

*Use squares slightly larger than 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" if you like to make oversize half-square triangle units and trim them back to the exact size after assembly.

From medium green fabric, cut:

  • two 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" squares*

*Use squares slightly larger than 3-3/8" x 3-3/8" if you like to make oversize half-square triangle units and trim them back to the exact size after assembly.

From dark purple fabric, cut:

  • eight 3" x 3" squares
  • four 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" bars

From assorted light fabrics, cut:

  • forty 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" bars
