Put freezer paper hearts shiny side up on the wrong side of the red fabric. Pin the paper hearts in place, keeping them 1/2" apart.  NOTE: Be sure the hearts are lined up with the straight grain of the fabric running in the same direction as the arrow on the heart template.

Cut around the freezer paper hearts, leaving a 1/4" turn-under allowance at the top indentation of the hearts almost to the edge of the freezer paper.

Leaving the pins in place, lay the hearts on your ironing board, paper side up. Starting near the bottom print and moving counterclockwise, use the fingers of your left hand to lift and fold the turn-under allowance of the heart over the shiny freezer paper heart. Then press the turn-under allowance to the paper. Follow this procedure for all five hearts.  NOTE: Set your iron on dry - or the steam may burn your fingers!

Center and appliqué a heart diagonally on the other four A's.

Stitch the 4 red triangles to navy triangles, as shown. Stitch the 4 white triangles to navy triangles. Press the seams toward the navy fabric. Then stitch each navy and red pair of triangles to a navy and white pair, making 4 pieced squares. Press the seams toward the navy and red side.

Set the five appliquéd squares and the four pieced squares together in three rows of three blocks, as shown, to form the star. Be sure the red triangles touch the center square.

Stitch each row of three blocks together, then stitch the three rows together. Press.
