Rhonda: Question for you. I have the star block pattern. I need to make a 9" finished star block. With my measurements, I come up with a 2.75" template to be used, is this correct? Not sure. I would make 16 pieced blocks which will measure 11' then when assemble comes to 9.5" unfinished. Could you let me know your expertise? i know this is a different page than that, but was having a hard time finding the right thread to open.
