Start by drawing out on graph paper, the number of blocks
across and down you want for YOUR quilt...[refer to the Calculating
Yardages Page if you need help with that.] Once you have done
that, start coloring in the PATHS, using colored pencils in colors to
represent the fabrics you want to use...I started in the upper left corner
with Lime green and went diagonally down the quilt, filling in the stars,
then half square pairs that make up that path....Next I did the upper
right medium blue path that runs diagonally down and to the left...proceed
in this manner until all paths are filled in. When you cross an already
filled path, just skip over that star and keep on going.( As I did here
with the light yellow, 2nd path down from the upper right, for
example) Next, indicate all the BLACK areas by filling those in.
Lastly, and I haven't shown it here, you'll fill in the squares
shown here in white, using random placement of the colors you used for
your paths. Now, with THIS all done, you can tell how many half
square triangles you need in which colors....Refer to your Graph Paper
chart for sewing units, and piecing the quilt.
