If you have only two colors of triangles -- say, black triangles and blue triangles -- assembling the star/sky blocks is very easy.
Remember, ALL SEAMS ARE 1/2 INCH.
Simply align each blue triangle with a black triangle, WRONG sides OUT...
...and sew them together on the LONGEST edge, as shown.
To save time while sewing, DON'T BREAK the thread between triangle pairs.
If you have three or more colors of triangles -- thus making it possible to put the wrong colors together -- it's a good idea to lay them out around the log cabin square before sewing them. Picking mistakes apart isn't hard, but it's boring.
Each resulting block will include 1) the SKY color (light blue in the above photo), and 2) either the STAR (light brown) or FRAME (dark blue) color...
...unless, of course, you use the same color for both STAR and FRAME triangles, such as those shown above.
Go ahead and snip the connecting threads. Press each block towards its STAR or FRAME color.
The star/sky blocks are now finished!
