How Does This Work
I watched a video of Missouri Quilt Company..the video was how to make ..The Big Star Quilt...I try one of the stars just because it didn't makes sense to me..Thought if I did it ..I would see something I just wasn't computing..the block is 25 inch when done u work with 10 inch squares of material..it all works until...u use 6 1/2 corner squares...the 10 inch is cut just once to get 2 triangle for the edges..then sew to another just like it..that is the middle of the last row..u them sew on the 6 1/2 square at each end of this piece..when u do this there is no way that fits right..so if u line the top to be sew to the row above..this leave about 1/2. Inch after u have your star all together .u trim it up to match the corner squares..make it square..u lose your points on the star..I try a few things ..but no way that Ican see can u save your points with the 6 1/2 piece..u are only taking away 1/4 of an inch on the joining seam to that square from the bigger block.and the bigger block has only one seam of 1/4inch where it join the triangle 2 pieces..taking only1/2 inch out of the middle of the block..bring the block size to 9 1/2..with only 3 sides sew at 1/4 seam...As I said..I made one to see..so I either have a real mental block on this..or I really screw up somewhere..HELP. HELP ..PLEASE..Thank u..
