eo-3 Star of Bethlehem - Point Assembly

The quilt has 8 star points. Each star point is composed of six rows of diamonds.

To assemble the star points, the strips of fabric are sewn together along their length, staggered by 2". Once 6 strips are sewn together, the piece is cut at a 45 degree angle every 2 inches.




The result is a number of strips of diamonds with the same sequence of colors:

Each diamond point needs six strips, or a total of 48 strips in the quilt. 

The goal is to use all of the colors in the series. This will be achieved by assembling the strips in five different arrangements:
  1. all dark, 8 strips
  2. red/yellow/light/light/medium/dark: 8 strips
  3. yellow/yellow/light/light/medium/dark: 8 strips
  4. light/light/light/light/medium/dark: 16 strips
  5. medium/medium/medium/medium/medium/green: 8 strips
