If this is the pattern:

you have to piece the block very accurately and probably press in one direction. Not sure if you can press the seams open. What do your instructions suggest??

Thank you maniac and dunster. No the directions do not say. I am using the internet. One suggested cutting the points off and appliqueing a small circle on it but I do not want to do that. Others use applique to get the look.

I don't know if you are hand piecing this or not but if so, you might want to check out Karen's blog as she made one of these some time ago. She was a member here on the board but I do not know if she still is or if she even checks here very often. She always has a lot of photos about the quilts she is working on.

I think I should maybe try it both having them turn and all go the same direction and another by pressing them open. I think I will also try and trim the tips down to 1/8 th of an inch.
As for appliqueing, I do like that look too but prefer not to do raw edge and also do not like the added weight.
