I did a civil war panel quilt that took 25 Ohio stars and everyone of these blocks I ended up seam ripping because I lost the points. I ended up cutting them out a second time and redoing them....if this wasn't a 30th anniversary quilt for DH I would have scrapped the project or made an alternate block. I was so discouraged. I finally found a pattern for Ohio star that was better then the pattern instructions and they assembled beautifully. I was practically in tears...the quilt was a hit but it was bittersweet....
