Nothing like the intricate blocks that the rest of you do but I made my first star block that has the 1/4 inches beyond the star points so the points won’t be cut off. And it’s 12 1/2” square! the picture isn’t quite accurate. All the points have the 1/4 inch.

MJP - so fun when they all measure up, isn't it? All the blocks posted so far are lovely! It's fun (as a new Booomer) to pay attention to other's fabric pairings, block choices, etc.. I'm enjoying all of your talents ladies.
In the meantime, I'm playing around with EQ8 and going through the Beginner workbook chapters - learning a bunch and picking out some block patterns too!
Happy Sunday ladies

Oh, I love this star block! I have not done one like this (Hint, Hint).

MJP - love your star - and how great that not only is it 12.5" but the tips won't be cut off! - I know the feeling~~
I thought you were sending the sparkly fabric
LSTew - you have mastered those flying geese - mine still come out wonky! Your fabric has so many possibilities can't wait to see what you want it matched with.
I attempted a paper pieced cornucopia. It didn't go well!! So on to the next idea for my farmers market...

Beautiful star block MJP. It's been one of my favorites, so I get the hint, Libster. It's an interesting one to play with because the star points seem to change depending on what you do with the corner squares. It's just an illusion, but that's what I love about it!
All the blocks posted are lovely, but I didn't make notes on who did what. Mind like a sieve. lol
