Hi Omak!
Well, you've got me blushing again! Thank you for your comments.

LOL ... you don't have to be blushing, dear child - - I am paying you a compliment, but I am also saying, sort of tongue in cheek "As long as you are doing the precision work, I can sort of just do the quilters' equivalent of sweatpants and tshirts"
all the world needs is ONE good one, right???? LOL
but, I do like to see the step by step instructions ... those who have been quilting a looong time sometimes forget what a new quilter needs to know to gain enough confidence to try her hand at it (or his hand, as the case may be ;-) <wave>
Thank you, omak! I remember when I started quilting, as it hasn't even been 2 years yet. I would and still do occasionally,
get the rows messed up somehow. I just did it on one of the star blocks again. I still don't know what I end up doing to make this happen. Maybe you or someone else out there can
'enlighten' me....
I will have the squares all laid out to sew like in the picture. I start sewing the squares together into rows of 3, then I complete my 9 patches. Sounds like everything should be fine so far, doesn't it? WRONG! Then when I lay them out, I have the long 'row seams' going horizontal/sideways on 3 of them and the 4th ones seams are vertical. I don't understand. I must do something wrong, but what?
I realize that alot of the excellent quilters here on this site wouldn't need ANY pictures, just the pattern and to see the block would be enough, but I also remember when I started and some of the problems that I still have, so I post pictures to try to help other people. I enjoy it and if it helps just one person, it was worth it. I love to help others.
I think that last paragraph sounds kind of stupid, but that's how I feel. :oops:
