Frosted Stars Test<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since I am thinking about going out and actually buying special fabric for a project, I thought it might be a good idea to test the pattern to see if I liked it. Since I finished the top and back of the Blue Janus quilt this morning, I thought it was something that I could manage.<\/p>\n

I dug out the directions and went to work. I can’t say I was enamored with the directions from the Moda Bakeshop<\/a>. It really too me a long time to make one block and I had to follow the directions step by step, because there weren’t cutting directions for one whole block at the beginning of the section where the star starts.<\/p>\n

I redrew the block in EQ7 just to see what it would take to make some straightforward cutting directions. I can see why Charlie Scott<\/a> used some fancy triangle tricks. I created rotary cutting directions in 12″<\/a> and 9″<\/a> (both finished) sizes. These blocks use quarter square triangles and the triangles need to be cut weird sizes, which I know nobody likes. Still, my directions are a lot more straightforward than those on the Moda Bakeshop page. You can cut the quarter square triangles slightly larger and then cut them down to the normal size. I hope you will be able to click on the numbers above and download the rotary cutting directions.<\/p>\n

I am going to make another one using my directions and let you know what happens. I am not knocking Charlie Scott. I love the free patterns out there and have a really difficult time following them. I will probably put some borders on the one above and send it to Anna Maria Horner for the Rainbow project<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
