[ATTACH=CONFIG]560690[/ATTACH]Got it put together, with the borders it's about 18". I'm going to make it into a little wall hanging for my office at work. Going away this weekend so I hope to get it finished up next week. Thanks again Judy, this is a beautiful mystery block. I really enjoyed Fast And Furious!!

Great call, Jan! The Joker block works very well with the Christmas Star (or whatever name you choose from the list for this block).
I enlarged it to 12 1/2" unfinished to match the Star in this way:
Flying geese for each corner patch are made from one feature fabric measuring 3"x 5 1/2" and two background squares 3"x3". The two HSTs for each corner patch are from one feature fabric square 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and one background square 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" (same HST method used for Star). Trim resulting two HSTs to 3" square. Make four corner patches that will measure 5 x 1/2" x 5 1/2" each.
The sashing pieces are 2 1/2" x 5 1/2". The center block is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".
Assemble patches, sashing pieces, center block in rows as you would a nine patch block.
Here is my ready-to-quilt table topper that will be a hostess gift if I get it done by the weekend!

DHANKE I absolutely love your little wall quilt. That owl fabric was a perfect choice and you always do such lovely work. It reminds me of a fine piece of jewelry. When I first saw the picture it reminded me of an antique broach. Its gorgeous.

Well, I do apologize - yesterday I missed some on the postings and didn't comment. Wasn't feeling up to snuff and was a bit ditzie I guess.
Chase, your runner is to die for. It is beautiful.
Angelia love the pink block with the pale center, very pretty
Blue adorable houses with this block. They all go together like they were made for each other!
dhanke love the wall hanging, with the border it is a perfect finish!

I like that, apart from the background, it's charm-square-friendly
Thanks again Judy.

I think I'll change out a couple of corners because they don't really work. I didn't notice until I took the picture. I think I'm going to make placemats out of them, if I have enough fabric left.
