Looks like your strip (her dk blue, your light), was too wide. I'm not sure what the width should be, maybe someone else knows.

said the strips were 1 1/2 in the post which they both are
my brain is fried on this! LOL

Can't help with this one but if all else fails, Quilter's Cache has one with templates or paper piecing.

I am doing this block today. I am using the Quilter's Cache PP pattern. Your second block looks like the finished block they have. I went to your link and the block looks good to me. Maybe I don't understand the problem. Looks like you did a very good job on this star. BrendaK

Thanks Gale

What dimensions are your blue pieces - they should be 1.5" high, and 1 3/4 inches on the short side, 4 3/4 inches on the long side.

It looks to me like the seam has not been well pressed; that might be causing some 'shortness' of the blue.

yes that`s what the blue measures
guess this block isn`t for me
itried the template and it looks like it will fit on the left but after pressing its not i give up

Looks like you didn't line it up correctly, you should have dog ears on both ends. Why not try the paper pieced one?
