Pocket Patchwork Sew~Along: Tucker ~ Part Two

So glad you're back to sew along with me once more!  I've heard you're a little anxious to get started, so let's do just that.  Here we go!

Choose an assortment of (52) 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" dark print squares, (4) of the 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" light print squares, along with the (8) 1 1/2" unfinished Half Squares Triangles.  (Remember, if you're using different sized squares and HST's, just note the count for all pieces.)  

Arrange the squares and Half Square Triangles as shown.  Sew together into rows.  Alternate the pressing direction for each row to create opposing seams.  

Sew your rows together: press.  Your star block should measure 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" unfinished.  That's it for now!!  Whatcha think??  Hope you like it so far.  That's all we have to work on until next week....so be sure to come back and visit again next Friday for the next step!!

I've had a lot of requests to make Fat Quarter and Fat Eighth bundles of just the eleven assorted shirting light prints from my Antique Cotton collection (Marcus Fabrics) , so that's just what I did!!

Stock up on these cuties now!  Click here to order and they'll be on their way to your house just in time to add to your Tucker project.  

And remember...sewing is so good for your soul!
