I was wondering if it was really necessary to do the bias ones. Dumb questions, but wouldn't I need to add 1/2" to the finished size to allow for the 1/4" seam allowances?
seriously I would look at the quilt in a day templates...I know they are $14 but they would make your life so easy if you're doing a big quilt...they are so easy to do. Finish up as 3 1/2 square, so the complete star block sewn would be a 9" block, No having to cut templates, add seams or cut on a bias.A real time saver
