thanks lara for the quick reply, I want to make a queen size quilt, if it proves to be not too hard once I get started, so just bought some practice fabric, and will finish one block tonight just to see if I can do this, and then I guess just make 1- 6 1/2, 1 four patch and 1 =9 patch, just to follow the group? I would do the star blocks so it will be faster to make than a queen with just 6 inch ones.
