I just got Anita's book as well. It arrived on Christmas Eve, which was a nice surprise as the email said delivery on the 27th. I have not had a chance to do any sewing from it yet, but love her shortcuts. My husband has already picked out a favorite pattern from the book. He may have to wait though, because I want to try the ArrowHead Block first. Nice job on all your projects! I'm really impressed that you did the StarSpin w/out a pattern! You are much braver than I am - my pattern is in the mail and should be here soon!

What angle did you use,your star? 30 degree-60 degree after you sew your stripes together?

The Strata Stars ended up 42" tip to tip, the XCentric Block runner is 17" high x 53" long. Kind of odd measurements, I am just playing :)

Not sure which one you're asking about? I only had the pattern for the XCentric blocks, just went by pix posted here for the spinning strata stars.

Thanks for your kind comments!

PS: The last photo (earth tones) fabrics are from Connecting Thread's "Aqua Terra" line.

!!You just went by the pix for the Spinning Strata stars!! Ability like yours totally amazes and eludes me.... but I do love to keep trying.

Hi Connie, I cut the strata at 45*, which gives you a half-square when you put two together.
