Miniature Oddfellows Star Quilt

  1. Arrange the blocks into three rows, each with three quilt blocks. Variation Two blocks are placed at the four corners and the center of the quilt.

  2. Sew the blocks in each row together, matching edges and seam intersections. Remove paper and press allowances in adjoining rows in opposite directions. Sew rows together.

  3. Use my straight border instructions to measure the quilt for the inner border. Use 2" wide strips for the inner border.

  4. Use 4-1/2" strips for the outer border, or cut strips a different width to suit your design.

  5. Mark the top for quilting if necessary.

  6. Sandwich, quilt and bind. I used a 1/8" seam allowance to bind my quilt, but 1/4" works just as well. If you use a 1/8" allowance, end seams that distance from each corner so that miters will be accurate.. See: Mitered Binding Instructions
