I am the coworker...
So let me clarify...
I have seen and have actually had the pattern in my hand at one point in my life.
The pattern is for a stack and slash five point star using 11 different fabrics. You stack the 11 fabrics and make the first cut. Which is from the bottom right corner to the center of the top of the fabric. You take the smaller section of the top fabric and place it on the bottom. You then sew the two pieces of fabric together. You now have one square with two pieces of fabric. You then make the second cut, doing the same process of stacking and whacking. There are five cuts. After making the cuts, and sewing them, you should have a block with all 11 fabics in the block, with no repeat fabric.
Does that make since?
I now can not find this pattern anywhere..
I told my coworker who does math puzzles..to figure it out for me...and I see how he is cheating...
But if anyone can help me...as his mom would say..Thank you very muchly!!
