Key Pattern Overview

- Finished Size: 12" × 12" (Unfinished: 12½" × 12½")

- Color Palette & Fabric Ratios: These are three different accent shapes (pink, pink, pink) and a neutral cream background, which create the multi-tonal "frayed" star effect.
- Construction Highlight: Learns to use flying geese and strip pieces. It can be cut by traditional rotary cutting or can be cut more quickly by using a special cutting guide, such as the Ultimate Flying Geese Ruler.
It uses 3 tonal values of the star points to produce soft layers and overlapping depth while maintaining a straight and true seam. The perfect 12-inch block to help build confidence in directional piecing and fabric contrast.
