Thank you for stopping by, I am so happy to quilt with you again, let’s jump right into making our Super Bloom – Block 2!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_6480023e8f1c47cbbee6f67bde1ef829~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_86,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_6480023e8f1c47cbbee6f67bde1ef829~mv2.jpg)
If you’re cutting you fabrics, please follow cutting directions from your Super Bloom Pattern. If you have one of our Pre-Cut kits you’re ready set go!

I love opening the pre-cut pieces, they are so easy to work with and really speed the process up!
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_c275d6c491bc44d09eb940ee75bc2315~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_c275d6c491bc44d09eb940ee75bc2315~mv2.jpg)
Start by joining two pink QST and two light QST to make a Quarter Square Triangle (QST) Unit 1.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_d3a2d06403364b2d87cad67f17a7b14f~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_d3a2d06403364b2d87cad67f17a7b14f~mv2.jpg)
I use the “chain sewing” technique to sew all triangles for the block. I keep the pink fabrics on the bottom and the light fabric on top when making these QST Units. Note: I use a scant 1/4″ seam allowance when sewing my QSTs, this will allow me to trim them later if needed.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_02efc88aa07f4dfe9058a7725c870ee2~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_02efc88aa07f4dfe9058a7725c870ee2~mv2.jpg)
Cut the treads holding the string of triangles together, open triangles, and press your seam allowance toward the pink. Be careful not to stretch the bias edge when pressing.
I like to use my hand seam pressing tool for this step.

Take two units and arrange them as shown above.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_24f86b933a5f4695b92e049cbc890648~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_24f86b933a5f4695b92e049cbc890648~mv2.jpg)
Place them right sides together, nest the center seam and pin.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_90a5a830d57b47ecb145cbeecc9a6693~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_90a5a830d57b47ecb145cbeecc9a6693~mv2.jpg)
Sew triangle units together, again using a scant 1/4″ seam allowance.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_39922f5fdf4c4b008a8d645f8d52ea6c~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_39922f5fdf4c4b008a8d645f8d52ea6c~mv2.jpg)
Gently open seam allowance on center back, press and trim using your ruler to a 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ square if necessary.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_7d19fdd84c5245ffb8a6b45bd73284de~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_7d19fdd84c5245ffb8a6b45bd73284de~mv2.jpg)
Join two pink QST, one light QST, and one blue QST to make QST Unit 2
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_aa189085de674f1a93ddead7a04f36d0~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_aa189085de674f1a93ddead7a04f36d0~mv2.jpg)
Press and Trim your QST Unit 2.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_3deff3ca63f84d4f8438fee6a44f0a6b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_113,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_3deff3ca63f84d4f8438fee6a44f0a6b~mv2.jpg)
Arrange 4 light squares, 1 blue square, and 4 QST units, (2 QST Unit 1, 2 QST Unit 2) as shown.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/8dce06_ffc0f2afc17549ba9476e0bb056cfb3a~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_113,h_75,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/8dce06_ffc0f2afc17549ba9476e0bb056cfb3a~mv2.jpg)
Sew into rows using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Sew rows together and press your Ohio Star Unit A. Repeat steps to make 2 Units.
I love using my 6-1/2″ Creative Grids ruler and OLFA Spinning Mat to trim these blocks if necessary.

Those little Ohio Star Units are so cute, time to put them together!

Arrange your 4 Ohio Star Units as shown above. Sew into rows using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Sew rows together and press your Super Bloom Block 2. Finally square your block to 12-1/2″ x 12-1/2″.
