    Dont be so quick to ebay them yet. Depending on the size of the quilt you want to make, it'll take more than you think. I am making a 6-pointed star quilt(10 inches point to point), I have 105 stars in it for a twin size quilt - When you make that octogon block, you'll have to get good w/ Y-seams...

    How fun!!!

    Oh yes 117becca! I can see those Y seams will be something I have master. I don't even want to start on the project until I figure that out. I'll probably have to take that one to the local quilt shop for advice. They have an open sewing night a few times a week. Well worth it I'm sure!

    Ok, wait, I found another pattern I'd really like to use these for -

    4 of the stars are put together and it makes them look like the background of another, better star!

    Does anyone know what this pattern is? It's the red one in the middle:

    What Pattern is this?
