It's always interesting to see the original pattern. Great pattern - thanks for the link! |

You can piece this section by sewing small triangles onto the square and then bigger half-square triangles.
Make the pieces oversized and then trim to size after stitching. You could also do paper-piecing for this section: |

I would like to know the name of this block so I could Google it and find out how to make it. I have tried sawtooth, morning star and every other kind of star I can think of. Thanks so much for your help.[ATTACH=CONFIG]463720[/ATTACH]

Notice that those star points aren't just HALF-square triangles, but are actually (what I call) TRI-square triangles - there are 3 triangles in the one square.
These are easily made by topping an HST with a plain square, drawing your diagonal line across the already sewn diagonal, and sew on each side of the drawn line as you do the HST. When you open, press and trim, you have that tri-square triangle. Jan in VA |

I think Jan's method of making the star points makes much more sense than the pattern instructions. Much easier her way! Thanks Jan!!

If you look in the Tutorials section of this forum, you can find the instructions for making this block (Boston Block). Here is the link http://www.quiltingboard.com/tutoria...rs-t46365.html Although it is a good method and is explained well, I find that this method wastes fabric.
