That's the great part about this pattern! When you're done sewing the stars together, you trim the square down to 9.5 inches, which is about 3/4 inch from the points. Then you sew the rectangles to the squares, flip the alternate blocks. When you sew the blocks together, there are only 4 intersections to match on a 9 block quilt!
