Welcome to step two of the Scrap Quilt Secrets medallion sew along! Remember, all of the detailed instructions can be found in the book. If you need a copy, you can find it here.
Step 1
Make one Star block B from page 73.
Step 2
Make 20 four patch units found on page 15.
Special instructions for pressing can be found on page 94.
Sew 2 rows of 4 blocks and sew them to the sides of the star.
Sew 2 rows of 6 blocks and sew them to the top and bottom of the unit.
Press the seams toward the four patch border.
When choosing scraps for this border, I limited it to two colors. Also, this is a good time to add an another color to the mix if you like. Notice, I chose colors that create a border. In other words, I chose two colors that are darker prints to create a barrier around the star, so that it can shine.
I hope you have fun making these four patches and spinning the seams!
Enjoy every stitch!
