no offense taken. i'm doing all variations of the ohio star so i'm trying to get all the points right and all the seams matched. such a simple block and it's killing me!! i have a quilt pattern with this block and i'm starting to think maybe i won't do it after all. with a simple block there's nothing to distract you from imperfections. look at the one i sent sue. you can tell right away the seams don't match! lololololol!!
