Using 10 inch squares of precut fabric (layer cakes)
Quilt Size: 75 " x 75" (3 ShooFly Patches)(3 Star-Leg Patches) alternated to a row.
Supplies:
• 1 Pack of 10" Print Squares
• 3¼ yds. Background Fabric - includes inner border
• 1½ yds. Outer Border - 6" wide
• ¾ yd. Binding
• 4¾ yds. Backing
Shoo Fly block (Make 12)
Cut 10" squares in half then one half into (2)5" squares. Use 2 of these squares, layer with same size background squares. Draw a line diagonally from one corner the it's opposite. Sew on either side of the line then cut on the line. Square these up into 4 1/2" half square triangle squares.
Sew these together with same 4 1/2" solid block in center and (4) 4" background squares.
4 Patches & Star Legs (Make 13)
Cut 10" squares in half then one half into (2)5" squares. Layer with background squares. Sew up one side then do it's opposite side on each layered pair. Cut up center between these sewn seams to make 4 1/2" squares. Take 2 of these squares and layer them together matching the background to the print of the other layered square. Repeat sewing up the 2 opposite sides across prior seams. Cut up center between the opposite seams. = (4) 4 1/2" Four Patch Squares.
Cut background color 10" square in half, cut one of those into (2) 5" squares. Then cut these 5" squares down the middle into 2 1/2" x 5" rectangles.
Cut print 10" square into (2) 4 1/2" x 10" rectangles. Layer these rectangles and cut into (4) 4 1/2" squares. *saves the leftover strips for another project(string quilt blocks). Fold in half, into rectangle and mark on one mid-point edge of the fold.
Place background rectangle so it just passes this marked mid-point and angles down to a point that is along the lower edge of the print 4 1/2" square. Sew along background strip. Press. Repeat for other side of square. Press and trim off background fabric using print 4 1/2" square edges for template. This is your Star-Leg 4 1/2" block. Make 4.
Assemble so the Star-Leg patch points to the center, put 4 Patch blocks at the corners with print fabric pointing to the center. Position 4 1/2" solid print square (same color as 4 Patch)in center. Sew together per image.
