How fun! i was thinking about this quilt pattern this morning. I have tried several ways to make this pattern but was frustrated with them all so I ordered this today!

Here is the video of how it is used:http://www.nancyzieman.com/blog/quic...reat-products/

Your stripes look wonderful! Sure it took a lot of effort - or is the star appliqued?

Thanks. No the star isn't appliqued, they are set in Y seams.

I decided that I wouldn't worry if the stripes lined up, I "let it go" and just cut and sewed...taking the worry out of it actually made it easier and it lined up on it's own just the way it was cut (the triangles were all one large block before cutting into triangles).

Another option re: cutting of the diamonds :
Unless you're fussy cutting the diamonds to get a certain image/motif, you can more easily rotary cut strips to make your (45 degree) diamonds.

That's the problem when you don't use Y-seams - the fabric pattern gets chopped up and looks horrible.
It works fine if it's a tone-on-tone blender type fabric, but anything else....not so much.

However, when care is taken with placement of the stripes...(and it's not that difficult):
