Sew Along - Rainbow Carpenter Star - Cutting Instructions

All righty!! Ready to do some cutting?

 

From your BACKGROUND - 16 SQUARES, 32 TRIANGLES
Dark Red - 4 Triangles
Red - 4 Triangles
Pink/Rose - 8 Triangles
Light Purple - 4 Triangles
Dark Purple - 4 Triangles
Blue - 8 Triangles
Teal - 4 Triangles
Dark Green - 8 Triangles
Light Green - 4 Triangles
Yellow - 4 Triangles
Tan - 4 Triangles
Orange - 8 Triangles


When you do the cutting and trimming, make sure that you're consistent with the rulers that you use. Whatever ruler you use to cut your squares - use that one to square up your Half Square triangle blocks. Consistency is important.  Over the years I've found that each ruler is slightly different - so whichever ruler you start cutting with, keep using that ruler. It'll save you a ton of heartache.
