My original version of the Star Point uses swatches and a 30 degree cut. This tute posted here is the updated version and is the one to use with my BOM. Tho you can use the original version if you like.
One of the reason I did this updated version was to eliminate using a ruler to get the 30 degree cut. and I also wanted to cut down on the leftover fabric.
As far as I'm concerned the original version is quicker and easier. You don't have to have any particular cut squares. Just use a scrap piece or rough cut what you need. No math no mess.
But some find the 30 degree cut confusing and or don't have a ruler with the 30 degree line.
Whereas this version you have to take time to cut 2 1/2" strips and then cut them to the right size.
If it bothers you to have leftovers then this is the one to use.
The original is quick and easy no math no fuss
The second is less leftovers no 30 degree cut and still easy to do.
It's up to you which one you want to use.
