figuring block size
To make an 8 point star like the one in the Big Star Quilt from the Missouri Quilt Company come out as 12" finished blocks, what size squares would you need to start with. The Big Star Quilt is supposed to finish out at about 25" and she starts with 10" squares. My thought process was cut it in half and start with 5" square, but someone on the site said they did that and came out with a 10" block. Help please, Nancy
