Well I just love this block I've sewn four up this evening and I plan on sending at least a dozen.
Thank you so muck for the link glad I could be part of it. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

What is a pigma pen?

thank you
It's a special ink pen used for writing on fabric. You can usually get them at your local quilt shop or you can find them on-line.

I think it's up to you.

It would dmake a double layer there, so not sure if this is what is meant. Anyone have any ideas? Or how is everyone doing it? Want to get it right. Thanks.

Beginner 10, you should be able to make this star block. If you run into any questions I'm sure the board members can help you, or you can PM me and I'll try to help. When I made my blocks I actually did leave the background layer on as the pattern says to do. It looks very nice. I just wouldn't want to have to quilt through it. Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement....I will be going to my LQS for the red fabric. Since I am going there I will also be taking an extra copy of this so they can pass it on.
When I start making my star, if (or should I say when) I have questions I know where to come for answers :-D

My granddaughter (age 14)is here for 3 days & we're sewing up a storm. She wanted to do some stars too (only star she's ever made was an Ohio star last year), so we each made one of each. She did really well on her points, better than a couple of Grandma's...She's working on a wallhanging today & should finish quilting it tomorrow. I will post it in the picture area after she's totally done. We love sewing together & it was really fun making them together.
Kaelyn with her stars; she picked out a cream fabric with sparklies on it, the red is solid & the blue is sparklie
