Questions

How many free patterns are in this collection?

15 right now, from 13 to 143 pieces each. 4 of them are beginner-friendly. All are free to recolor and print, with no sign-up.

Which block here is easiest?

The gentlest are Friendship Star (13 pieces in 3 sections), Sawtooth Star (17 pieces in 4 sections) and Wonky Star (17 pieces in 4 sections). Fewer sections means fewer joins to line up.

Why paper piece a star instead of rotary cutting it?

Star points are where rotary-cut blocks lose accuracy. On a foundation you sew right on the printed line, so points land exactly where the pattern puts them.

Can I download these patterns as a PDF?

Yes. Each pattern opens in NiftyFifty's free FPP tool, which prints the foundations or downloads a PDF with a 1-inch test square, an assembly map, the sewing order and every foundation at exact size with 1/4-inch seam allowance.
