center for any holes or shifting of fabric and fix accordingly.
5 Thread a needle and insert the needle with the eye end pointed up from the underside of the center hole (to prevent accidentally catching any fabric). Leave a rather long thread tail on the wrong side.
6 Carefully scoop the pointed tips of each piece with the needle, one at a time. Insert the needle as close to the tip for all the pieces.
7 Once the needle has been inserted into all 8 pieces, insert the eye end of the needle through the center hole again and pull through the wrong side.
8 Pull the needle and the tail of the thread (from step 5) together to tighten and close up the center hole. Double knot the threads and trim.
9 Front side. The center looks clean and sharp. Press the seam allowance to one side, and fan out the center in a windmill formation.
10 Join a square and a triangle piece to the star from step 9. With right sides together, place square piece on star. Align the top marking of the square to one of the diamond markings of the star. Pin in place.
11 Start stitching from the outer corner towards the center (refer to step 2). Stop sewing about one stitch from the end of the marking, then pull needle up through the corner marking towards the center.
12 Align the markings for the next side to be sewn. Pin at the left corner marking. Sew side. Start and end with backstitching (2 stitches) and cut thread.
13 Join the triangle piece in the same manner as steps 10–12. Move the pin as you sew each side. Repeat previous steps to join all the square and triangle pieces.
Complete. Trim seam allowance ¼ in (0.6 cm) from stitch line. Press seam allowance to one side, and fan out center section in a windmill formation.
