Star Point Square Tutorial

Star Points are one of my shortcut methods that make piecing easier and gives you intricate looks with easy steps.

You do have to have a template to make these. Then once you make the star point squares you sew them into a quilt block of your choice to make a quilt or other project.

For a 12 1/2" quilt block you need a 2 1/2" template.
