Oh I would also like to be adopted!
I've found a pattern (
http://www.quilterscache.com/S/StarandFeatherBlock.html) called star and feather block and for the life of me I'm struggling with the feather point! I've only been doing this a couple of months, I emailed the lady that created the design and she suggested I try something more simple. I'm making these cute quilts for my sons for Christmas. I don't know if I should make the feather point fat and then cut it down or not. Very frustrating.....
