Terriamn - great looking blocks. I understand how frustrated you can get. I have to cut and sew with the pattern right in front of me and still I too often get it wrong. That's one reason you'll notice I tend to do multiples of the same pattern; I'm trying to get it right. Sometimes I have to cover up the part of the block I am not working on so I can focus in on just a little section. Other times I sew patches in a different order, or way, than the directions say.

joanelizbay - very nice!
Has anyone else seen the Day Of The Dead fabric with R2D2 and C3PO? A local WalMart had some and I cracked up! I took a photo with my phone but can't get it on the board. I know, technology challenged

Love all the blocks you made, Joan... but especially mine! The stormtrooper quilt is going to be so nice and geeky for my geek SIL! Your other two stars are so beautiful and feminine with those gorgeous fabrics.

Your blocks are beautiful, Terri... You conquered that Peace and Plenty block for Lstew just fine!
I am a visual learner... can follow any pictures but too many words just run together. Most times I follow patterns by the pictures rather than the written directions.
In the photo you posted Terri, the order of construction is shown in the third illustration. It has you joining the two colors of each triangle, then joining the three triangles into a block... probably by sewing the two smaller ones together first, then joining the big triangle to it. Then you just sew the 4 blocks together. If you follow the given sewing order as in that diagram, it will be easy. You did great with the block, tho.
