Sulabug - your blocks should be 8-1/2''. Did you use my oversized 2-3/4'' strips? If so, did you then trim the block? Maybe you did a scant 1/4'' seam? Sorry I can't be more help. But they do need to be 8-1/2''

Thank you so much Judy. I figured that might be what I did, but I can fix it with no problem. I will be A-OK!!

Cindy, your blocks are lovely. But, I want to know how in the world did you get 2" HSTs? Mine turn out to be less than that, which I will trim out to 1-1/2" to use with my postage stamps. I have lots of both!

Thank you
I do highlight what i want to print themn click print and it still wants to print every page... geez.. i will keep working on this.

It's that time of year here we had some fresh ears of corn on the grill a couple of nights ago, the family also loves fried corn... I love fall.

clue one.. is post #1
clue two.. is post #339
clue three is post #714

for my computer these are pages #1,#34 & #72 this will vary depending on how your computer is set-up.

this works best if you take care of it as you travel along....trying to backtrack and gather in the info. can spoil your fun....just my honest opinion.

The last time I was in the country area of Ohio the corn fields were beginning to be harvested and the fresh ears were being sold at roadside stands.....delicious roasted in the husks on coals...this was many yeas ago. Would be a great treat to have in the dining car this noontime.

Wanda Lou...OK, another 'work around' you could try is to highlight the clue and photos .....right click and choose copy, then go to e-mail and open a new e-mail to yourself subject line MTQ#7 click to get the curser in the body of the e-mail...then right click and choose paste....then send it to yourself and when you open the e-mail you should have just the clue and photos..............so then you print the e-mail.......years ago this is how it had to be done and it still works today.

Wanda Lou
after I've highlighted what I want to print a print box comes up and I have the option to click on page numbers I want to print or I can click the "selection" button which let's me print just what I have highlighted

What I've done is copy and paste the instructions and pictures to a word document and saved it to my computer. That way I can print it whenever I want.

Oh, I absolutely love all the stars I'm seeing! There's not a one I don't want for myself. The 2" HSTs threw me as well, so I'm glad Judy clarified.
I'm also working on a mystery at QCA, which is so different but also has stars. Here's the two blocks I've finished for that one -- these are 12-1/2". I hope putting them here won't confuse folks, but wanted to share.

Ooooo! This makes me want to do a controlled scrappy! Wish I had more time and could do two.

Love how this is coming together. If somebody gave me the star pattern and the fabric together I would place them exactly how they appear. That scrappy is really, really nice!
