Pieced corners

Pieced Corners

I've learned a new method for making this skyrocket block that is incredibly simple and accurate and I'm very excited to share it with you. It's also exciting to see the variations you can do using the technique.
This quilt consists of three Skyrocket blocks. I chose my fabrics in the following manner:
A dark, medium and light print for the stars. The dark forms the "rockets," the medium is the squares, and the light is the triangular star points and the center of each block. (OK, I reversed the dark and medium in this quilt, but I loved the watermelon seed fabrics!)

Fabric Requirements
3/8 yard background
3" x 40" strip of dark for each block (you'll need 3 for the whole quilt)
3" x 15" strip of medium for each block (you'll need 3 for the whole quilt)
1/4 yard light for the small center stars
5/8 yard for outer border

You'll also need sewing machine, thread, rotary cutting stuff, scissors.

Pre-class cutting (Bring extra fabric just in case of mis-cutting.)

2 1/2" strips background -- 3 (leave them whole, and bring the remaining fabric in case we get to the border)
3" x 40" strip dark -- 3. From each strip cut 4 squares, 3" x 3" (12 total). Reserve the remainder for the rockets, bring it to class.
3" x 15" strip medium -- 3. From each strip cut 4 squares, 3" x 3" (12 total)
1 3/4" x 40" strip of light -- 2. Cut 24 squares 1 3/4" x 1 3/4".
3" strip of light -- 1. Cut 3 squares, 3" x 3".
