You might check for the template from Eleanor Burns to make the 54/40 star blocks.....It truly does help get them accurate. I bought mine years ago, but have seen it lately at the LQS or Joann type stores.
It's a fun quilt to make. I just finished a king sized one......have fun!

The pattern is fairly simple - a snowball block alternating with a pieced block. The pieced block has four 4-patches, one plain square, and four Triangle-in-Square(TIS) units. The TIS is the only tricky unit; to make it easier you could use the Deb Tucker V-block trimmer (my first choice) or the Tri-Recs tool (second choice). Since this is not a 45* triangle the "legs" don't extend into the corners of the unit.
Eleanor Burns has a TW in a day booklet I believe. She also has a video on YouTube as others have mentioned.

I have the Eleanor Burns TW book and made my granddaughter a quilt from that pattern. I had to buy the templates extra but was so worth it. It is an easy and fun quilt to make. I bought the book at JoAnn's with a coupon so wasn't too pricey. Good luck and I know you will enjoy making this pattern when you get the items needed.
