16 point star
 

Some one gave me a 16 point Lone Star to finish for them. How do i figure the outside triangles?

You have 16 points around the edges?

Does it look basically like this??

In this case, all the setting triangles (and squares if you use them) are based on regular right/90 degree angles. When you look closely at the "squares" they were mostly put together with the top in wedges, but you can fit in as well.

Welcome to Quilting Board. A picture of what you have would probably help. I agree with Iceblossom, even though I don't quilt. I wonder if this would help https://liveartgalleryfabrics.com/wp...structions.pdf
