My blocks came out right then. Hope you enjoy. Now lets see if picture is with it.

I was informed that I probably wasn't using 1/4 scant, which is true, so tried another with scant 1/4". It pays to read and not go by picts. alone.

I would like to share my first friendship star with you all. Cannot believe the wonderful variety already displayed and looking forward to seeing the rest. :P 12" square is very BIG :shock: did not realise until i finished this block. Hmmm going to have to rethink my materials

Your material is stunning. Wonderful choice. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your stars.

Cuddly Quilter, Love the material but especially love the butterflies. Where did you get it? It would be perfect for a block in the breast cancer lap quilts I make and donate to patients?

Thanks for the compliment on this material. I originally bought it to do decorative leaves around the border of a quilt i was going to make for my daughter. Since then she has aged and so has her tastes changed..... Hoffman Challenge 2007 - Style D610 by Hoffman California Int Fabrics. Last year i saw they still had. GOOD LUCK. I am hoping i have enough for all my 12 blocks and i only have ONE METRE..........yipes

Good luck with your lap quilts

If it were all paper piecing you could just reduce on the printer but for others, I'm not experienced enough to figure them all out. On second thought, I guess 12" sounds just fine. :-D

Not as good as yours but was alot of fun trying to figure it out with DD and husband. I am beyone bad with angles and require an intervention when called for. lol

My pleasure, glad you got there in the end! It's looking really nice. In fact all your stars are gorgeous!
