Ohio Star Quilt Block Variation
The half square triangle units in the corners of this Ohio Star quilt block make the design slightly different from the original, which has plain squares at its four corners.You'll sew half square triangles in two different colorways. One type for the corners, made from a medium fabric with a background fabric. The others are slightly larger, and are used as parents for the quarter square triangle units that create the star tips. A plain square rests at the center of the quilt block.
Finished block size: 9" x 9"
