Stumped No More

I had been stumped by the four pointed star block pictured in a previous post. I couldn't identify it, or figure out how to piece it. Yesterday, I drafted it in EQ and printed out the exploded block diagram. (Once again, EQ to the rescue!) I printed the pieces onto freezer paper, cut them apart on the solid lines and pressed them onto the wrong side of the fabric. I added 1/4" all around, marked the corners and carefully stitched the pieces back together. I did stop, needle down, and pivot to accommodate that weird set-in shape; it worked perfectly.

Voilà! Success!!

If anyone is interested in the print-out for this six inch pieced block, let me know and I will be happy to e-mail you the pattern as a full sized attachment.

Life is Good!
