Cut out and label. An added 1/8 to 1/2 yard is added to all yardages to account for shrinkage, straightening, cutting errors and prints that may require special cutting to get the best results. You should protect your investment in time and fabric by making sample blocks before cutting into your fabric because Exclusively Quilters will take no responsibility for replacing fabrics. Shops who wish to kit this design are responsible for figuring yardage for their kits if they wish to reduce yardages. Cutting Directions: All measurements based on a 1/4" seam allowance. From the black floral fabric: Cut two 8-3/4" x 42" strips, recut into eight 8-3/4" x 10-1/2 rectangles Cut six 5-1/2 x 42 strips for border From the black scroll fabric: Cut one 12-5/8" x 42", recut into two 12-5/8 squares* From the black damask fabric: Cut five 3-1/2" x 42" strips for border Cut seven 2-1/2 x 42 strips for binding Cut six 1-1/2" x 42" strips for borders From the white damask fabric: Cut one 9-1/2" x 42" strip, recut into two 9-1/2 squares** From the pink solid fabric: Cut one 9-1/2" x 42" strip, recut into one 9-1/2 square** Cut five 2-1/4 x 42 strips for border From the purple solid fabric: Cut one 9-1/2" x 42" strip, recut into three 9-1/2 squares** Cut squares as indicated: * ** Template Cutting Directions: Using templates cut the following pieces from fabrics indicated: From white damask cut four Diamond Template From black scroll cut four Diamond Template From gray scroll cut eight Diamond Template

2 Page 2 Sewing Directions: 1. Trim each of the black floral 8-3/4 x 10-1/2 pieces with the Pentagon Template. 4. Sew a large floral pentagon to the purple triangle Make Sew one each black scroll and white damask diamonds shown. Make a total of four. 5. Sew the diamond/ pentagon units together Make 4 3. Using a set in seam as described below, sew a 9-1/2 purple solid quarter-square triangle between the diamond units. Make 4. SET IN SEAMS are needed to add pieces that require two separate seams because a straight seam will not work. Basically, a set in seam is made by sewing one side of the piece being added (in this case a triangle) to the piece it s being added to (diamonds). The fabric is then removed from under the sewing machine, the pieces are folded so the second side of the triangle to the other diamond unit. That second seam is sewn, then the piece is pressed flat. 6. Stitch two gray scroll diamonds to sides of a large floral pentagon Stitch a 9-1/2 small pink solid triangle under the pentagon. Make Set in two 9-1/2 purple solid quartersquare triangles

Then add 12-5/8 black scroll half-square triangles to corners to finish the star block. Assembly: 1. Stitch five 2-1/4 pink solid strips together end-to-end. Cut strip into four equal length borders. Sew borders to right and left sides of star block quilt center. Press and trim excess. Add remaining borders to top and bottom of quilt center. Press and trim excess. 2. Make and add a border in the same border as the first border, using five 3-1/2 black damask strips. 3. Make and add a border in the same border as the first border, using six 5-1/2 black floral strips. 4. Make and add a border in the same border as the first border, using six 1-1/2 black damask strips. Finishing: 1. Sew the two lengths of backing together along selvage edges creating a two-panel wide backing. Layer the backing, batting and quilt top. Quilt or tie as desired. 2. Prepare binding from seven 2-1/2" x WOF black damask strips. Sew strips together into one long binding strip. Press strip in half lengthwise. 3. Carefully trim backing and batting even with quilt top. 4. Leaving an 8" tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers matching all raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12" from where you started. Lay both loose ends of binding flat along quilt edge. Where these two loose ends meet, fold them back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1/4" (.64cm) and press open. Finish sewing binding to quilt. 5. Turn binding to back of quilt and blind stitch in place.
