QST help needed
How should I cut out & sew the marked section of this block. I've marked the section in question with a red arrow. It seems to be an hour-glass variation.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]551907[/ATTACH]
The block is an Ohio Star Variation that I want to use in a lapquilt I'm making for hubby as a gift. It will be red and white.
I really don't want to use a template for the modified sections.
My first idea is to make a reqular sized hour-glass block and just cut it down to size. A waste of fabric, but I can't see another way besides templates or paper-piecing.
I thought maybe some of you would be share how you would go about making this section of the block. Btw, it's to be a red/white quilt. I just used these colors in EQ7 to count my pieces.
Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

I havenot seen this variation. If this is how you want it to look, you may try paper piecing it. use a grid the size you want finished and try to go from there. Jenny Doan has a video and quilter's cache has a pattern. But they're the actual pattern Not a variation. Someone else may come up with an idea I'm sure. curious for their answers

I agree with Jennifer. Here's a very similar block.

I agree. Make the QST and then trim to the size required with any square up ruler. I prefer doing it the easiest way possible. Good Luck!

This looks just like a block in Star of Wonder Quilt Pattern by Acorn Quilt
You make the block and then trim it to get the asymmetrical block.
If I were a techi I would post the photo.....sorry!
