Apparently I did not take into account that when you are using triangles and sewing on the diagonal your square has to be a little bit larger or when you sew it next to a square it will not be the size it needs to be ...
I am going to make another one tonight and see if I can get it :)
Thanks!!

I personally use the method on page 5 of these instructions, making the blocks a touch bigger than the pattern calls for and trimming them down. For this Friendship star pattern, I cut the beginning square 5" instead of 4-7/8". Then follow the rest of the instructions. Your points should come out perfect.
I love the fabric you used and look forward to seeing your next star.

David, that's a beautiful block. I hope you can keep the theme, it's a great beginning. Can't wait to see the final quilt!

Here is my block, I have had it done for quite a while, but life keeps getting in the way of posting a picture of it. I am on my second baby quilt in a week! I am going to try to do all 12 in purple with the same background fabric. Only two more weeks till the next installment!
