Star blocks are popular in quilt making - let's jump in and fearlessly learn three versatile blocks to up your piecing and design game. In this class, we will focus on star blocks that are made with half-square triangles, quarter-square triangles, and flying geese. These basic block units can be used to make a wide variety of different star blocks.
