Thanks to everyone for your help. I have finally figured out what was wrong. The blocks I wanted were made up of 9 blocks and not just one.
EQ7 certainly has a huge learning curve. The lessons within the program helped and then I found 23 lessons posted here. By Rhonda, I think. they were the most helpful.
I am trying to post a picture of the original layout and also the layout that I made for myself. You can see that I am more of a country, primitive, traditional style quilter than the more modern type.
First picture will be the original Hoopsisters Feathered Star, second picture is my layout.
Thanks again, Pati
