Star block question

When you sew this block together with other blocks, wouldn't the tips of the stars get squared off?

I think you will find that the diagrams are not showing the block with seam allowances just a graphic of the finished block, there will be an extra 1/4" of fabric extending beyond the point for the seam in reality....well their should be if you remember not to trim it off, like I did when I first started :roll: :lol:

I did my practice block and it turned out pretty good. The points weren't exact, but very close.
But do you know that old saying "Measure twice, cut once?" I think it should be "Read twice, Measure twice, Cut once." I read it wrong and my squares were too small. The ones that I cut into quarters should have been 4 1/4 and I cut 4 1/2.
But all in all, it worked out. :roll:

Glad it worked out for you! Measuring is the most important thing, but I, too, have mis-read directions more than once! Also important is to use the same ruler all the way through the block and or quilt! They do vary, especially if they are older (read that worn). :?
