• Create your templates and foundations from the pattern sheet provided
• Following the instructions for foundation piecing will make this sometimes daunting technique a lot easier than you thought
• The star blocks are string pieced using foundation piecing to create the random, scrappy look
• Detailed instructions and clear diagrams take you through all of the steps, from creating your templates to cutting your fabrics, block construction and finishing your quilt
