Sometimes they just do 4 blades of the same color and the center. That would save you some fabric for another square.

Marytoddliz- I have ran into the same problem of ending up with a larger DP then intended and thus have gifted several nice pillows to family and friends.

MamaHen - Your DP is fantastic. Im curious as to how your point tips are a different fabric. Is that a result of the print of the fabric... like in the Paisley DP I shared???

Scrappy DP's are one of my favorites. My DP made from the scraps of the other BOM's we have done this far sits nicely along all the other finished blocks. I really am enjoying the 2013 BOM.

I extended the template one inch, then made a second template out of that-cut fabric and then sewed them onto the original blade, then folded & sewed across like you showed. I made sure to include the 1/4" seam allowance in each of the template pieces where they came together.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]417151[/ATTACH] Jenniky- Here is a close up of the blades. I only stitched in the ditch across those points when I appliqued the DP to my background fabric.

Marybethiz I really like your background too, it will make a great modern looking pillow or sham.

MamaHen yours is gorgeous! I love how much character the added points give it. The colors are wonderful together.

I hope to have mine done tomorrow, I think I'll end up with an oversize block too so may do the whole thing over.

Sulabug- WOW... love you DP I concur with all the above posted comments. I have to say though I especially love your DP. The Iris fabric has a definite WOW factor in my book. It kinda of gives it a stained glass effect I think.
