Well Billi, most of the white triangles are HSTs, but the narrower, pointy ones are tri-recs. You need the two tri rec
rulers to cut them. Got mine at JoAnn's.
Eleanor Burns sells a pattern for this, but I just made it from a picture. All the blocks are 6.5" unsewn: The 9Ps, the HSTs, and the tri-recs.
Not losing points has a lot to do with your seam allowances. If you sew too narrow a seam, the point will come out to close to the edge and you'll lose it when you sew your blocks together. If it's 1/4" from the edge, you won't lose it.

anyway thanks for the information.

These blocks are far too addicting. I'm loving everyone's color combinations they used, and then matching them up with neutrals. You all did a great job with exactly 6.5" blocks, too, because these are coming together without even fudging at all!

NZ and all, my blocks are coming out perfectly too! I don't have any problem at all with center squares being the wrong size. And after I sew the star, I don't even need to trim it, they are all coming out beautifully the same! I've sewn some of the blocks together and the points are looking great.
Maybe you'd like to post on the new 9Patch thread? Then any newcomers can get an idea of a setting idea for their blocks (if they are not reading the old thread).

Nzquilter, you’ve done a fine job with your blocks. Your quilt will be beautiful.
