Your pattern (and the quilt) turned out wonderfully! Easy cutting instructions and strip-set diagrams. Maybe you would want to insert a picture/diagram with your 1/2-square triangle piecing instructions for the new quilter.

I always find with the 3-7/8" measurement, that I have to take a scant 1/4" seam allowance to make the units big enough, and I also re-trim each unit to the exact size (in this case 3-1/2" square) before I piece my blocks together, even if it is just one thread-width that gets trimmed.

(I have found a very happy place for my obsessive-compulsive disorder.... too bad it doesn't go into other areas of my life like dishes or housecleaning.... :wink:)

In the picture of your Assembly for rows of Sashing and Stars, I might separate the sashing diagram from the star blocks, like you did with your block construction diagram on page 3, maybe just on the top row, so new quilters can see at a glance that a sashing strip goes on each side of the blocks.. I counted 58 of them.

Beautiful work - beautiful design, great color choices. More, more! :)

awesome..... thank you

Very nice and you did a good job on the directions. It is very easy to understand. You should contact a magazine . Hey you get enough patterns and you can do a book :D

Wonderful quilt and instructions! You chose a most perfect name also.

Beautiful I LOVE the colors.
WOW you did great in writting the instructions.
Keep up the pattern making :D

You did Great! The quilt looks so well done and I just love the colors. Your son will be very happy with his green quilt.

I really like the pattern and it came at a very good time. I belong to a small quilting group that recently read Circle of Quilters and we each are making our own quilts to depicit something from the story. This pattern really connects the stars just as the quilters in the story were so I think it will do very nciely for my Circle of Quilters quilt. Thanks, May in Jersey

Hurry and publish!!! I NEED a copy :P :P This one really calls to me :lol: :lol:

Your quilt is lovely, Kara. Your son will just love it, I'm sure. Nice work!!But I'm confused about your goals for the pattern you wrote out. Was it your intent to publish and sell it or to just give it away free to anyone who wants it, sort of as a practice pattern for your writing skills?

whatever your intent was when you wrote the instructions, it was very generous of you to share them with us all.

it's a beautiful quilt and the instructions were well written and easily understood.

you do wonderful work, both writing the instructions and especially making the quilt. i don't think many of us would do either half as well.

YAY, YOU!

Oh, I really like that. Not colors I would've chosen but I love the colors on it.
