GO! Nine Patch Star-9" Finished Die
Description
Get ready to meet your new favourite quilting star! This classic block begins with a nine-patch centre but becomes “sew” much more. The framed design is a surefire winner, and it looks equally stunning set on point or sitting flat. The kite shapes in the corners also work beautifully to create interesting secondary designs.

- Use good-quality fabric to reduce stretching.
- Test-cut one shape before cutting multiple pieces to ensure correct fabric orientation.
