I am in the process of making a CA king bedspread using the tutorial from MQC....it will take 16 "big stars"....I have 7 completed...I do starch all the pieces and they are coming out GREAT....the one tool that I did get (a gift) was a 12 inch turning cutting mat....really works....

Beautiful fabric and love the pattern. The practice block look fine. Good luck and let us hear from you.
Yes, I agree about garment sewing vs quilting.....I have done more rip it rip it with quilting than with the garments.
Happy quilting.

I made the quilt using the video on MSQC and it worked fine, I did have to square up my blocks which she does not mention in the video. The quilt top is finished but I have not had it quilted. I did not use the HST ruler...I am thinking that person wanted to sell a ruler. There are many ways to do blocks...none of them are wrong, just different.

It will result in a two piece square that has 4 straight sides, but the sewn center will still be cut on a bias-------already sewn................. but still a bias cut. at least one side of any triangle will NOT be on the straight.

I agree with PaperPrincess. I have the most success with NOT using open bias edges so I layer, draw the diagonal & sew before cutting...works every time.
Love your fabric choices! Good luck with the project & post pics when finished ok?
