Thanks

a 6-point lonestar is made from 60-degree diamonds, or two 60-degree triangles joined along the bottoms to form the diamond.
an 8-point star is made from 45-degree diamonds, or two 45-degree diamonds joined along the bottoms to form the diamond.

It is good to be able to understand the forty-five/sixty thing.
As a matter of fact, I have made one of those half-square triangle quilts, but without the picture, I couldn't figure it.
so, then the 60 degree angle will either make an equilateral triangle or the sixty degree diamond.
Now!
What do we use the 30 degree line on our rulers for? Is that the angle that will make a Spike and Peaky block?
:D See what happens when you know a lot of things??? :?
Who started all this?
I sure appreciate the knowledge shared on this thread and throughout the site.

Thanks Pattrice for the valuable information. I'm glad I decided to check with ya'll before I whacked into my fabric. That would have been the fastest quilt I would have ever made. :lol:
Thanks omak. I had no clue what a spike and peaky block was until I googled it. I love that block!
