Hi Marilyn, I did my first carpenter's star from your pattern today, wow it does have a lot of pieces, but was sure fun,, was wondering when you made yours which way to you iron your seams ?? Do you open all them or iron them all one way or the other?? Mine is a little off used a piece of material I had cut probably for binding had alot of stretch, but a good sample will be making a king size quilt. Lol Thanks so much for all you share :) Brenda
