White Star Quilt Block

Cutting Requirements for 12″ finished block (scant 1/4″ seam allowance):

• Aqua: Cut FOUR (4) 2 3/8″ squares. Then cut the squares diagonally, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. You’ll end up with TWO (2) triangles per square. (These will flank the results of the White 4 1/4″ square, which will create FOUR (4) Flying Geese, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Aqua: Cut TWO (2) 3 7/8″ squares. (These are paired with the White 3 7/8″ squares, which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Aqua: Cut FOUR (4) 2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles. (These are paired with TWO (2) sides of the Aqua/White Flying Geese. They’re also paired with ONE (1) side of the Aqua/White Half-Square Triangles. All are needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• Aqua: Cut FOUR (4) 2″ x 5 1/2″ rectangles. (These are the FOUR (4) corners of this quilt block. They’re paired with TWO (2) sides of the Aqua/White Flying Geese. They’re also paired with ONE (1) side of the Aqua/White Half-Square Triangles. All are needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• White: Cut TWO (2) 3 7/8″ squares. On the back side of the squares draw a diagonal line, corner-to-corner, ONE (1) time. (These are paired with the Aqua 3 7/8″ squares, which will create FOUR (4) Half-Square Triangles, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)
• White: Cut FOUR (4) 3 1/2″ squares. (These are paired with the Aqua/White Half-Square Triangles. They’ll help create the center of this quilt block as needed to sew it together.)
• White: Cut ONE (1) 5 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles. (These are flanked by the results of the Aqua
  2 3/8″ squares, which will create FOUR (4) Flying Geese, as needed to sew this quilt block together.)

White: Cut ONE (1) 5 1/4″ square. Then cut the square diagonally, corner-to-corner, TWO (2) times. You’ll end up with FOUR (4) triangles. (These are paired with each other which will create ONE (1) Quarter-Square Triangle. This is then the center of this quilt block as needed to sew it together.)
