If you love a quick, satisfying block that comes together in an afternoon, this tutorial from Sweet Country Living In Michigan is a treat. She shows you how to sew a bright star quilt block using 10 inch squares, so it is wonderfully beginner friendly and layer cake ready.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It is made for 10 inch squares. Because the whole block starts with 10 inch squares, you can pull a layer cake straight off the shelf and start sewing, with no cutting maths required.
- The star comes together quickly. She walks through each step at a gentle pace, so you get a crisp, pointed star without any fiddly piecing or fuss.
- It is perfect for beginners and busy makers. If you want a rewarding block you can finish in one sitting, this is a lovely place to start, and it looks beautiful repeated across a whole quilt.
Want to make this block even easier, browse our layer cakes, ready cut 10 inch squares in beautifully coordinated colours, so you can start piecing straight away. We would love to see the stars you make!
