who simply CAN NOT get that blasted Candlequilter Star block to piece together correctly? I have fiddled with that thing for almost a week now and the dang thing STILL will simply NOT fit together. Now, I do paper piecing all the time and I think I'm pretty adept at it, but I got to tell ya this thing is kicking my butt!Each paper pattern is the exact same size, I cut very carefully taking extra care to stay on that 1/4" line and they still don't fit.
Guess y'all can color me dumb and guess I'll try to the other way. This really annoys me. I love this pattern.

No,actually candlequilter sent it to me via email. If you ask her directly I'm sure she'll send it to you, too.

Maybe this picture, posted on a prior Candlestar thread, will be helpful.

Don't forget to "pivot." ;-)
