How to make a 8-pointed star quilt block?
The video demonstrates how to make this star using foundation piecing with freezer paper. If you haven’t tried this technique, give it a go and get perfect points with no effort.
How to use this block?
Buy My lucky stars quilt pattern on Etsy.
- Size: 66″ x 66″
- Quilt technique: traditional piecing or foundation paper piecing
- Skill level: Confident beginner.
- Fabric collection: I made the quilt on the cover from my old stash but I designed with Moda Farm Fresh collection in mind and the main diagrams use that fabric collection. This collection has very suitable black and white fabrics, even acqua that will make a beautiful quilt.
Order my book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.

All blocks use more or less the same amount.

Thanks! I have the specialty rulers to make those triangle blocks, but they always come out a little off. The paper piecing template will work much better!

That’s because the block belongs to this pattern: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/673638116/my-lucky-stars-quilt-pattern
I released the tutorial first and the template was free for a while. I do that often.
