The stars are actually a large triangle with 3 additional points sewn on. If you look at them that way, you can see how the rows can be pieced and then the rows sewn together to form the block. Tada! No set-in-seams. :) Of course, this means that each star will need to be a solid fabric choice (or you'd have a triangle with 3 different colored points on it), but that was o.k. with me, since I wanted all of the 7 stars in the block to be the same anyway.
wow, I didn't know you could do them that way. Mom always used diamonds and did everything by hand.
