So by the extra eight color choices you selected and used, do you think you were able to do the carpenter star part of your quilt in "four hours?"

My squares were 6" so the cream batik was cut 6 1/2 and the squares for the HSTs 7 1/2. I prefer the cutdown method. I bought 1 1/4 yards of the cream (I have some left) and as little as 1/4 yard of some of the batiks and 1/2 yard of some. Some came from my stash, so I can't say exactly. Using eight fabrics instead two as pictured on the site makes it more interesting to put together. Use the design board and alternate your lights and darks. Recently stitchinbee posted a EQ chart in tutorials that would be helpful. I wish I'd had it sooner so I could have printed and colored it.
