FREE Southern Star Block Pattern by Jennifer Mathis
We love this beautiful and versatile block design from Jennifer of Ellison Lane! If you've never tried your hand at paper piecing, this is a good project to dive into, and Jennifer rendered it beautifully in the bag she created, pictured here. More from Jennifer:
"There are lots of star patterns out there but this one is a great one for spotlighting small prints and rainbow hues. I used this same pattern (12″ size) when I made my Mouthy Stitches tote for Kat."
In her article, Jennifer links to her tutorial on the basics of paper piecing, so if you're new to this style of block making, check it out!
Base Size: 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm) This block can be scaled to larger sizes as needed (e.g. you can use a copier to enlarge the printed pattern by 150% to make a 9" block, 200% to make a 12" block, etc.)
