Now sew together the D and D Rev pairs. Start at the lower edge and sew to a point 1/4" from the "V". Sew two pairs together as shown at left, sewing from a point 1/4" in from the outer edge to the center. Make two units like this...

 

Set in a C piece in each of the side "V's, sewing from the lower edge in to the 1/4" point, keep the needle down in the fabric,  then pivot the fabric to line up the remaining un sewn edges and stitch...

Next, sew one of the corner units to the top of the side piece just added, sewing from the outer edge to a point 1/4" from the "V" formed by the D and D Rev pieces. Leave the vertical seam of the D Rev and corner unit un sewn for now...

Sew another corner unit to the bottom of the side piece we are working on in the same manner, again leaving the vertical seam un sewn for now. Now piece the other half of the block in the same manner...

 

Join the two block halves along the center star seam, starting 1/4" from the top edge, and stopping at a point 1/4" from the bottom edge. Now set in the top and bottom C pieces, sewing the slanted edges only at this point, pivoting at the "V"...

Now fold the left side of the whole block to the right, lining up the un sewn edges. Stitch from the 1/4" point to the outer edges. Sew the bottom open seam as well. Then fold the LEFT side of the block over to the right, and sew the two remaining open seams...and THAT'S IT!! :o) Repeat after me...I LOVE set-in Seams....LOL!
