Thank you all for your replies! I didn't get any email notifications that there had been replies, so I'm sorry for my late reply! To answer a couple of your questions: My scanner has up and died, so that idea went out the window. I'm going to attempt to scan it at work tomorrow and see if it comes out any good.
* In Kate's reply to me she said "Quite honestly, unless a quilt/block is a completely 100% original design, I don't know how the issue of copyright could come into play. I hardly think I'm the first person to come up with that block design! For me, copyright does not pertain to the fabric or how it's used, but only to the original designs I create that are printed on the fabric." So I figured because she said she hardly believes she's the first to come up with the design, I would see if I could find an online tutorial for it, which would be a little easier to point my bee towards. I'm still yet to find one! And yes, I said in my email I would be distributing to 11 others, and she was ok with that.
* I'm thinking that I'm just going to have to write up my own tutorial on the star, with my own photos etc. I'd love to do it paper pieced, however, the bee i'm in decided at the beginning not to have any p/p blocks as half of the participants did not want to do them/or had never done paper piecing before.
Thanks again for your help!!! Glad I found this forum
