Star Island features a traditional-style block made oversized for a more bold, modern feel. This pattern is a perfect opportunity to practice a variety of triangle units to create two striking shapes: an 8-pointed lantern and an 8-pointed star. These two shapes combined are reminiscent of a compass and serve as a reminder that our creative practice can be a beautiful way to find our sense of direction, even when life feels busy or overwhelming.

Whether you’re a new quilter wanting to learn how to make half square triangles, quarter square triangles, tri-recs, and flying geese for the first time, or an experienced quilter looking forward to practicing your piecing and connecting with the Quilting Rockstars community, this quilt-a-long is for you!
