great job--that is one I have always wanted to make but I'm intimidated by all those Y seams.

You've done lovely work on this quilt. Once you've learned a new technique from a good teacher, it isn't scary anymore.

I probably will add one more set of borders as it is only about 50 inches square now.

I have no idea why it is posting sideways, but you can see the whole quilt. I did not have quite enough of the b[ink for the border, so used cornerstones for the first time. I was happy that the centre star is quite flat and many of my points look ok.

Is this a pattern that is available to order on line somewhere? I am a longarm quilter and I work at a Dakota community and have many Dakota friends and coworkers. Through these peers, I also have quilted many Dakota Star Quilts. However, this Star Blanket is a little different and I love it. I would like to order the pattern.
