1. Sew tan print No. 1 large triangles to opposite edges of blue floral 4-3/4" square (Diagram 1). Press seams toward blue print square.
2. Add tan print No. 1 large triangles to remaining edges of square to make a Square-in-a-Square unit (Diagram 2). Press seams toward blue floral square. The unit should be 6-1/2" square including seam allowances.
3. Sew together green print small triangle and a blue floral small triangle to make a triangle-square (Diagram 3). Press seam toward green print. The triangle-square should be 2" square including seam allowances. Repeat to make 24 triangle-squares total.

Then add a tan print No. 1 large triangle to make a green star point (Diagram 5). Press seam toward tan print triangle. Repeat to make eight green star points total.
5. Lay out four tan print No. 1--3-1/2" squares, eight green star points, and the Square-in-a-Square unit in rows (Diagram 6). Join star points in pairs on right- and left-hand sides of unit; press seams in one direction. Then join pieces in each horizontal row. Press seams in one direction, alternating direction with each row. Join rows to make a center star unit. Press seams in one direction. The center star unit should be 12-1/2" square including seam allowances.

Join star points on right- and left-hand sides of center star unit in groups of four; press seams in one direction. Then join pieces in each horizontal row. Press seams in one direction, alternating direction with each row. Join rows to make a star block. Press seams in one direction. The block should be 18-1/2" square including seam allowances.
