You’ll use the included patterns to create marvelous projects: a table runner, pillow and a sampler quilt. During class, put half-square triangles and clever pressing tips to use on the Friendship Star block. Master quarter-square triangles, bias and intersections as you assemble the Ohio Star. Simplify partial seams to make a perfect Pinwheel Star. Create soaring movement in an Evening Star with Flying Geese units. Piece a 54-40 or Fight block with superb skinny points.
