wrong side of the starburst background 4f" squares
(style numbers 120-4271, 120-4272, 120-4273, and
120-4274). Pair (2) matching starburst background
squares with (2) matching shoofly block 4f" squares
with right sides together. Refer to the quilt photograph
to pair the colors for the half square triangles or pair in
color combinations of your own choosing. Stitch 4"
on each side of the drawn line. Cut apart on the drawn
line , fold open and press seam towards the darker
