Did I make more than 1 mistake here?
#14
Thank you everyone!!! I suspect that there must be several variations of the Ohio Star block, or Star Block. I do agree the center block does look too large.. however, I followed the pattern instructions, checked and rechecked measurements... so apparently this must have been intentional. All the pieces are cut so I will continue to make the other 2 blocks identical to this one.
I have attached the photos from the instruction sheet. This is a block that was made by many quilters during a church quilt camp. I have not seen all the blocks we made that week put into a quilt so I am unsure how the 'points' issue is resolved. We made enough of these blocks in patriotic colors to make 3 quilts for Veterans for our area.
Now my thoughts are, that I don't think I actually made a mistake according to the directions I followed... these look identical to the blocks I made in quilt camp... so I will continue on.
I appreciate your input soooo much! Thank you!!

If those are the instruction that you posted, I don't think you made a mistake. So many traditional blocks, designers are taking a twist to them to make them different, just like reinventing the wheel. I think your block looks fine.

I like it & the mix-and-match yellows look nice. As long as you have enough of the 2nd fabric to cut some more triangles with it, I think it will be a beautiful quilt. I really do like the variation on the traditional star. The no-tip pentagon (I guess I'm supposed to call it a 5-sided polygon) shape is really interesting.
