I'm making a 6 color Radiant Star with corner stars quilt right now from EB's book. I added extra length panels & borders so mine will be 102" x 92" completed. One major thing is to keep your seams at 1/4 inch. This pattern doesn't allow for any wider seams, not even the width of your needle or it can throw off the other seams. Pin, pin, pin. Did I mention pin? LOL. I don't use starch. I do use a walking foot.
Good luck & hope your quilt turns out beautiful
