The whole quilt measures about 72" x 72" give or take an inch or two...lol
anyway, the star blocks are made from 15" blocks cut in half and sewed together...and you just go from there....real simple project...really cute...glad you like it....

i seen this pattern along time ago in a "Quilt" mag, for big and quick blocks.....I have used this pattern to make smaller ones and it comes out just as cute as the big one....I plan on making some more big ones soon...I always make these plans to make more and more and you know how that is....lol :lol: always got some other project going....

It looks very nice. Is each diamond one large piece of fabric?

Could you give more specific instructions about how to make this quilt?

tammyg 07-30-2009 04:14 PM

Sure can...after picking out the colors you want for the star and main color measure and cut half squares from all. I made my 1/2 squareas from a 15" square... make sure you have enough main color for the 4 corners....after you sew yur 1/2 squares together and measure how big they are, then that is the size of the 4 corners...then put it all together and a boarder if you like and finish the quilt...I tyed mind....
I hope that helps..if you need me to help anymore just send me a note...
:P :wink:
