Anyways, I just made one like I saw. I made it a 6" to see if I could even do it. Here's a picture of my VERY first attempt. I was totally amazed that it turned out so well. And, every since then, most come out looking pretty good. Some are a little off, but I still think they are beautiful. When I'm making 8 Point Stars or Carpenter's Stars or anything where the center has to line up, I just put a pin in the "joining" point, (for lack of a better word), or each block. Keep the pin straight with one hand and pin about 1/8" from it to keep the points together and then sew. Do Not remove the pin until you have passed the "joining" point. Remove pin and finish sewing. That's all I can tell you. Oh yeah, and try to make sure that you keep a straight 1/4" seam so that the two "joining" points are the same distance from the edge of the fabric. Here's a picture of my first 8 Point Star, believe it or not. (I swear it really is though.) Let me know if I can help you in any way.

I will probably either put the top on eBay to sell it or I will hand tie it like so many other ones I've done. It's going to be so pretty but we don't use quilts around here. We are both to hot at night for that. I either sell them, give them away, or stick them in trash bags and store them in the closets. Sad, huh??? :cry: |

I like 6" borders best I think, like the ones on My Latest Projects, Jacob's Ladder's. (2", 1", & 3") |
Oh thank you for the tips! I'm inspired :) You really do beautiful work!
