Spinning Star <\/strong><\/span>combines simple fabric squares and 1\/4-square triangle units to create the illusion of a spinning star at the center of the block. The design is all about fabric placement. This block also gives you some extras to save for another project.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n Keep your fabric choices sorted using this handy Fabric Planner diagram.\u00a0Download the planner HERE.<\/a><\/strong> Print two and make notes or pin swatches to remind you of the fabric placements.<\/p>\n For the Spinning Star<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>blocks, select the following fabrics from your Farmhouse Floral<\/span><\/span> fat-quarter bundle and use a No-Hassle Triangle Gauge<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n Create a 9-patch block including four modified 1\/4- squares triangle blocks, four solid square corners and a solid square center.<\/p>\n All seam allowances are scant 1\/4″ unless otherwise stated.<\/em><\/p>\n The step-by-step photos illustrate construction of BLOCK A<\/strong>.

Each month, we will feature one block design made in two color-ways. Both blocks are created using Farmhouse Floral fa<\/em><\/span>t quarters<\/span>* <\/em><\/span>(18″ x 22″ fabric rectangles) and background fabrics. Follow along as we demonstrate how to easily create Block A.<\/p>\n![\"Farmhouse](\"https:\/\/nancyzieman.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/FHF-Rectangle-NancyZieman.jpg\" "\\"Farmhouse")

It\u2019s easy to double-check that the block set fits within the confines of the gauge. If the block set extends beyond or is shorter, trim or cut another block.<\/em><\/div>\n\n
