I have been doing this for a while and really enjoy it. I will forewarn you it does take a lot more material than your average quilt.. but if you're a "glass half full" kinda person, it sure leaves a lot of scraps for other things. I used a booklet for my first wall hanging that was by Jinny Beyers. It is called Los Doches. (I hope that spelling is right.) It is from the 80's and I have NO idea what happened to it. If you need any other help give me a shout.. It's one of my favorite things, and I'm looking forward to trying it on shapes other than the 8 pointed stars I usually make.
