Does anyone know of a block pattern that uses a 5 point star? Or where I might go to look for such a thing?

Good morning Ghostrider. It's good to know that there are others out there that get up early. Aren't early mornings great? So quiet and peaceful.

teehee I live so far out in the woods that it's ALWAYS quiet and peaceful.

I used to when growing up. We live in a pretty tiny village and on one the edge roads so it's not too bad. The birds are finally getting up here and I'm going to have to get DD up soon so that we can get ready for church but I have to get up and have my quilting board fix before I go. :lol:

great links.

Thanks for everyones help. I had seem these sites before asking but was looking for one that uses a octagon center so I could piece it togather. I will proably use the one snip method to start with and from that make my own. Again thanks for you help

Thanks for the cool links!

Do you mean a pentagon (5 sided) center with triangles sewn to the outside edges? There are templates for sale here (scroll down to pentagon star)....http://www.quilttemplates.com/favori...teblocks3.html

yep that's what I meant LOL it to early n the morning for me since I was up until 4AM

Have you considered drafting your own and making templates from your drawing? All you would need is a compass and a ruler for the design and then some template plastic.

edit: Here's how to draw a regular pentagon http://sierra.nmsu.edu/morandi/Cours...APentagon.html Once that's done, connect every other point it touches the circle to make your star. The inside pentagon will form itself. Erase the circle and square out the design using the base line as a start.

i found one i was looking for the spinning star but i found this one it's called empire star i think.
