I love it too but am only just on triangle patchwork not big suns of accurate sewing. <br /><br />I think sometimes when someone knows what they are doing they just do things automatically and forget to write up a stage as it is 2nd nature to them. A newb like me then has to clamber over that gate or find the missing step on the net. Have you tried emailing the designer?<br /><br />It really does highlight the need to have pattern testers like Stephanie does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415342804857434614.post-83685915878115699682010-01-21T04:58:14.360-05:002010-01-21T04:58:14.360-05:00What a great pattern I hope you can figure it out ...What a great pattern I hope you can figure it out (you will, you are such a tatented quilter!) and this will be a beautiful quilt for sure!corryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01527753889549800831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415342804857434614.post-18201582082735849262010-01-20T23:56:00.002-05:002010-01-20T23:56:00.002-05:00Jackie, it is always more fun to work on projects ...Jackie, it is always more fun to work on projects with others!

Make sure your top and bottom fabrics are the same so your don't have alternating star points. <br /><br />Label all strip sets so you don't lose track of them..ie A, B, C for each separate star.<br /><br />You will have 8 diamonds for each star point. Then for your backgrounds you'll have 8 sections mirrored together by cream triangles to complete the block. 4 triangle pieces top/bottom, left/right. Then 4 square pieces for the corners. <br /><br />Does that make sense?Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164286285384762770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415342804857434614.post-78676472656853004212010-01-20T09:39:40.234-05:002010-01-20T09:39:40.234-05:00It sounds like it was a frustrating day of quiltin...It sounds like it was a frustrating day of quilting.
