May 2000’s block was a Scrap Star.

2. Cut one 6 ³/₄ inch square from your background print; cut diagonally both ways to form four triangles.

4. For the center four-patch:
   • Cut two 3 ¹/₄ inch squares from a third print.
   • Cut two 3 ¹/₄ inch squares from a fourth print.
5. Connect each row as shown in the above graphic.

6. Connect the center four-patch.

8. Sew the background corner squares to each side of the top and bottom rectangles, then sew the side rectangles to the four-patch.
