Thread: Qb block of the month - may 2013 - tenth star

Here's what you all have been waiting for: the next block

It's called Tenth Star and you can find it here: http://quilterscache.com/V/VOS_TenthStarBlock.html

It's really not as hard as it looks! I didn't know what I got myself into when I picked this one but I made the block and it's really quite easy. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

Good luck all

I just know that everyone is going to love this block pattern, when it's all made up!! Thank you for picking such a lovely block.

oh wow! I think I am going to go sleep on it! very pretty block! I am just trying to wrap my mind around it in my color scheme! Happy May Day ladies!

Liking it!

I am also liking this block a lot. One question though about printing the paper piecing template. It is a GIF file and the test square prints at 1.5 inches. How do I save the image as a PDF? I am using Windows 7. If all else fails I guess I could recreate the template to achieve the correct size.

I'm using Windows 7 also and Google Chrome. I don't remember having problems with the measurements. I don't know how to save a GIF file as PDF, I guess you'll have to convert it yourself. Did you try and alter the printer settings? Like printing on 75% and see if it prints the test square at 1" ?

Thanks Anael. I will try your suggestion. If all else fails I will go to my old PC and print it. I guess it helps to have the old one still available, LOL

Figured it out. Saved it to MS Word, then saved it as a PDF. In order to print it with the correct 1 inch test square I had to go to custom scaling and increase the scaling to 110%. Whooo Hoooo!
