(Throw Version)

Supplies:

24.5” square of background fabric

3 30” pieces of double fold bias tape of your desired width

(Mini Version)

Supplies:

12.5” square of background fabric

3 16” pieces of double fold bias tape of your own desired width

 

Assembly:

Use the bias tape to form three rays across the block.  Pin. You can either hand sew them on or top stitch the edges down using a ⅛” seam from the edge.

 

NOTE:  If you need to make your own bias tape, you lay a ruler at a 45 degree angle to the selvage edge.  Make an initial cut. Line the ruler up with the edge at your desired width (double what you want the finished width to be).  Cut. Repeat until you have enough pieces (or piece the strips to desired length). Press any seams open. Press the tape in half, then fold and press edges to center line.
