I went to your web site but there are no directions to sew the quilt after I cut all the pieces
Marie: I’m sorry for not providing more information on those quilt blocks. However, I’ve created a new page on my blog that should help you out. Since both of those quilt blocks are made with half-square triangles, look on the right sidebar of my blog. You should see a dark turquoise box with the title that says, “Quilt Therapy Quilt Block Tutorials”. When you click on that lighter turquoise button it will direct you to the page where you can find out how to piece half-square triangles. If my tutorial page doesn’t help you enough, you can contact me directly at tkhquilts (at) gmail (dot) com. TK Harrison
Love this star pattern, thank you for the pattern. I. Am 82 years old and just starting to sew and quilt, so just reading your blog helps me
