This pattern is free.
It's named Falling Star.
The second I saw this pattern,
I knew it would make a great 4th of July Flag.
Turn it a complete 180 and it becomes a Shooting Star?
Note only need three 2½ in white squares.
I mistakenly cut 4.
I use the "No Tear" Method.
This was actually the second time
I used this same piece of paper
to make a second flag,
so I could learn my mistakes on the first.
The pattern is drawn on freezer paper, then
folded on the lines
on the non-waxed side.
I still put 2 small pins in the first section
to make sure it doesn't slip out of place.
by stitching as close to the edge of the fold as possible.
Then the best and fun part is this.
You don't have to take time to rip out paper.
Just remove the few pins used.
Then just take off the pattern.
Then use it again if need.
I thought I was a Know-It-All,
and didn't have to read directions
on putting the piece together.
So I put together the Eight Pointed Star together first.
As you see, it doesn't work that way
and that's why you only need three white 2½ inch squares.
(and yes, Flying Geese could have been made.)
Happy 4th of July USA!
