Use pieces A and B and create 8 HST. Repeat with C and D and create 8 HST.
Take pieces E and F and create 4 HST.
Use your HST's containing A and C and piece G to create 4 star blocks to go into your block. See below.

Using the HST you made with piece E and pieces H we will create our center row and the middle of our top and bottom rows.

Sew each row together, then sew your rows together to finish your block.
