Question for the Math People
I have some strip sets left over from a lonestar-type project. I want to use them in a similar, but different quilt. My question is: Each diamond of the star I have already made used 6 strips. I want to use 7 so that the star is larger. Since the center would still equal 360 degrees, because the 7th strip would be up further and would just extend the depth of the strip, wouldn't 7 work and not be too big to make it come together in a flat star? I don't want to put together a "dummy" block if this dummy is off kilter. Done with ripping, I hope, for a while. It seems to make sense to me, but my brothers are the engineers in this family and I was into bookkeeping and unfortunately geometry wasn't covered there. It feels right, but that doesn't make it right. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
