New Hampshire Star - Page 2

Place the Color 2 elongated triangle regular piecing templates on a 4" x 12" rectangle of fabric, and cut out four star points, being sure to ADD the 1/4" seam allowances. To cut the elongated side triangles place the regular piecing templates on an 8" x 14" rectangle of fabric and cut out eight triangles, again being sure to ADD the 1/4" seam allowances....

 

To make the elongated triangle units sew the elongated side triangle to each side of the elongated star point triangle as shown at left, using scant 1/4" seams and pressing towards the darker fabric. Make four units like this. or CLICK here if you'd rather paper piece this unit!

With me so far? Great! ...now piece the block! Sew three rows as shown at left, using scant 1/4" seams. Press the top and bottom row seams towards the center and middle row seams towards the outside. Join the rows to make the block!  

...on to Page 3!
