Fat Quarters needed!

The first thing that I would recommend that you do, is go to the Practice Paper Piecing Page.  When you feel comfy with paper piecing, come on back and try the Star O'er Bethlehem! You will need to print out four copies of each of the units needed per block you want to make on very lightweight paper. As there are fine points to this one, you may find it works best to trim the seam allowances to 1/8" in tight spots...do a test block!! 

After your units are pieced, you will have four each of the units at left... 

Join the A's to the B's as shown at left. Use a 1/4" seam, and if needed trim seam allowances back to 1/8" rather than the standard 1/4" to lessen the bulk where the points come together...

Then Join the C's to the D's as shown at left. Use a 1/4" seam, and if needed trim seam allowances back to 1/8" rather than the standard 1/4" to lessen the bulk where the points come together...

Now join the AB units to the CD units...on to Page 2!
