I have been working on a peiced star called Judy's Star from The block Book by Judy Martin. It is a 12" star and has only 4 different peices. I am having a hard time with the outside points they keep disapearring, But I am cutting only enough peices to make 2 blocks at a time, as they are all going to be different colors. haven' done a peiced quilt in many years mostly do paper peicing and aplique and lots of embroidery.
