That is an interesting block design. Thanks to eparys for mapping it out. This would be great in a star block sampler or even in a quilt made entirely of this block either in just a couple of fabrics or scrappy.

The center is 1/2 square triangles placed around a solid fabric square. It is the color placement that makes it look a little more difficult I think. The outside blocks are a off center 1/2 triangle and I saw Jenny Doan do a tutorial on this. Not sure what the name of the tutorial was-maybe scrappy off center star??? I will look and see if I can find the tut.

I think if I were going to go to the trouble of drawing up a paper pieced section I would do the whole section I have marked in red, then the orange section I would make as a simple full sized hst cut down to the rectangle size needed. The rest is just 5 squares of fabric, eliminating some of the bulky seams in the process and you could use simple strips for the paper pieced sections.[ATTACH=CONFIG]567190[/ATTACH]

WOW you quilters are fantastic. I saw the nine patch of HSTs in the center, but making a PP pattern just made my head hurt LOL Thanks for the detailed diagram. You are the best. I may never use the pattern but loved how the whole process unfolded and the different participant ideas. Where there is a will, there is a way.

On my old computer (IMac 3) I could make any size of block with Pagemaker. But with this IMac 5 can't do it (I hate this wordprocesser - pages..... now I do by hand...
