I have also drawn both diagonals and sewn to the center--stopped and moved 1/4" to the other side of the line and continued to the corner. Turned the block and done the same thing again to get matching instead of mirrored pairs. For an Ohio Star--either way will work but the mirrored version is fewer steps and less sewing.
May have to try this!
