Easy is a relative term! LOL! As long as you accurately sewed the strips and then accurately cut the triangles with the ruler, and then carefully pressed them without stretching; then all the seams line up really well. I sewed the 2 blocks together last night and had to sew slowly to ensure that the seams matched. They came out really great! I was able to match ALL the seams! AND, you really need to pay attention to the center of the starpoints, you have to remove the couple of stitches and make that tiny pinwheel in the middle so the block lays flat. That wasn't too hard though.
I can't wait to see this one completed! My son really wants one, so he's trying to be patient :-) I purchased some of that black light thread that Dusty Farrell uses so I can quilt his!
