I fell in love with this pattern after seeing it here (i thought) and now I am in a real pickle. the star squares are not the right size (i don't think anyway) It said to trim to 71/2" but the red and white blocks are to be 81/2" and it does NOT line up in columns or rows Can you help
|
The stars should be the same as the red and white units, 8 1/2 before sewing together. Did you trim the stars already?
|
It kind of looks like there is an extra blue strip pieced on the top and left of the stars to make them 8 1/2 inches.

I have a feeling that there is a mistake in the directions. Try to email the pattern designer or the publisher to see if their are any corrections. Give me a PM and I will be glad to help vie email. Keep your spirits up, it will evenuallygo together and be soooo.. beautiful. Trish b

Thanks so much I have trimmed the stars to 7 1/2 then added a strip to the left side of each star making it 8 1/2 But now the length is off still looking for the pattern cover and hoping that has the manufacturer on it sigh
|
How about adding a strip to the TOP of each star to make it 8 1/2 square. Otherwise your star block will be 8 1/2 wide but still 7 1/2 in length.
|
I think you need a strip on the top also. This makes it a 8 1/2" square to match the red and white ones.
|
I really like this pattern for a flag wall hanging. i think the others have solved your problem. By adding the strips you gain some separation of the stars also.
|
I have seen this pattern and it really is real cute. Sorry you are having problems. The others have made the same suggestions that i would give you. Good Luck.
