    Very nice demo of Jenny Doan's video. I'm guessing the block will also appear in her next Block Issue.

    Thanks for the great tute. I made up two of the blocks today and found you need good color contrast to see the finished star clearly.

    If you wanted a 9 1/2" block would you begin with a 7 1/2" square?

    If you start with 4 half square triangles to avoid bias edges, what size would you cut through each hst?

    I liked the block when I saw Jenny's video tutorial and thought I'd take a shot at it when things calmed down around here. Then I saw all the conversation on the Board about it and thought, "Maybe not."

    Thank you for giving the block 'back to me.' Guess I'll take that shot after all. Really top notch job of making the math clear. And with my mind right now, that's quite an accomplishment. Thanks again.

    This is the best idea yet. This is the way I will make mine.
