This star chain layer cake quilt byMaterial Girl Quiltsis one of the most fun patterns I have ever made!
It is composed of two blocks with different designs.
When sewn together alternately, it creates a crisscross pattern with stars in the center of each piece.

Watch the video below for full instructions.
Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner on the back side of the 2 1/2 squares.
Sew directly on the drawn line and trim off excess 1/4 away from the seam line.
Press it open toward the star fabric.
Do the same for the opposite end.
Repeat the process to make 4 flying geese or star point units.
Sew into rows first, then sew them together to make the star.
Put the squares on the corners of the star and the rectangles between each square.
Step 6:
For the chain block.
Get four different 2 1/2 squares and sew them in a four-patch.
Sew a 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 background rectangle to each side of the four-patch.
Repeat to make two units, then sew them to the top and bottom of the block.
Sew a 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 background rectangle to each side of the block.
Get two 2 1/2 squares and sew to each end of a 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 background rectangle.
Repeat to make two units.
Lastly, sew them to the top and bottom.
See the photo below for reference.
Step 7:
