My March block

I have ask my bee group to make me wonky stars. I'm positive there are other tutorials for this but after a week of scouring the internet and read multiple prints at work I don't feel up to the task.
So here it is.


I started off with 5in white solid squares-8 of them
A 5in square in either aqua, yellow or gray-1
pieces of aqua, gray or yellow fabric



At first we only need 4 of the white squares and the aqua, yellow or gray pieces.


Start with one square and place a colored square in the corner and just sew from one side to the other at a diagonal. No need to be perfect.


Trim to excess off 



Iron this flap open and then repeat on the other side so the next color overlapps the first corner...as shown in the next picture


Trim the excess off again and press back open


Trim block to 5 or 4.5 in...repeat this process 3 more times


This is what your final block looks like and sew it all together
