I have to admit that I love star blocks/quilts. I made the mistake once to cut out an entire quilt, using 6" squares cut up for blocks, then after making one block decided to not make the quilt. My advice would be to make one block as you go along, either cut out the pieces, put them and the instructions in a zip lock bag (whatever would we do without them?), then proceed at your own pace, either completing each block or cutting out the blocks until the bag is full. I think that's the most logical way to do it. I speak from experience, as I just discovered 4 Valentine and Shamrock table runners and 2 wall hangings that are ready to be sandwiched, I wish I had just finished them at the time, especially since I also found pieces to make heart blocks, but didn't include enough fabric for a border. Oh well, guess a nice red binding will do.
