Log Cabin Star 02: adding the first set of strips

The first round of strips was pieced from five 1" strips
The first set of strips was cut 1" wide from a fat quarter so 20" long. I found I needed 5 strips: this project is very greedy!

Sewing the 3 diamonds to the first strip.

And press towards the strip fabric.

Now trim in line with your diamond.
Note at the sharp acute end you will need extra fabric to accommodate the angle.

And trim again at the obtuse wide angle.

To aid economical cutting I only sewed two to the next strip as it left a longer piece to use later.
Try to consider this when cutting.
Continue adding strips either clockwise or anti-clockwise consistently  till you have completed the first round.
