My first block for Friday Block Party & it took me almost three tries. In the end I went with the 12" block because the 9" biases defeated me completely. Not sure if it was the little stretchy pieces or the cold medicine I have been taking although I DO blame the cold medicine for the first set of pieces in mis-matched sizes: the first two colors cut for a 9" block & the rest for a 12" block.
In the end I like the look of this block a lot, but I would probably recalculate for half- & quarter- square triangles made by sewing two squares together on either side of a corner-to-corner diagonal line, rather than fiddling with all the open bias edges. It would leave me with quite a few scraps, but then again, so did doing it 2-1/2 times.

Hi MB. Welcome to our party! Your block looks great! Very nice sharp points and the colours are wonderful and soft! That dark in the centre of the smaller star really looks good. Perhaps the cold medication helped make this block work! It was a difficult one!
Hello and welcome to the Party. Your block is lovely and a lot smarter than mine! Ros
it looks great, but too bad it was so fiddly. I'm planning to get to this one soon.
Welcome to Friday Block Party. Great job on your block. I'm way behind yet again. Somehow the Fridays keep flying by me.
