I finally got this block together. I made it differently this time; I used half square triangles instead of rectangles and squares. I don’t like the look of so many seams, but I couldn’t get the piece together in the correct size doing it any other way.

I am not giving you the pattern this time, because even in EQ, it wouldn’t come out right. I don’t want you to be frustrated either.

The other thing is that TFQ and I had a disagreement about the grid of this block. I drew it on the same grid as the other Sawtooth Stars. I found, though, that she was right once I started to make it. It is really a 9 patch. I shouldn’t have disagreed. She is usually correct about such things.

  1. is it supposed to look that way or is the half square triangle in the lower right rotated 90 degrees clockwise by accident?

  2. I enjoy looking at the star blocks. This ribbon block is so interesting. What comes to mind is the star just beaming and shining so brightly, sort of like when fireworks explode and in the night sky.
