I cut over 100 1 7/8" white squares to attach to the corners of 3.5" x 9.5" sashing strips. And they are not the right size they are too small. Now I have to go back to the drawing board to figure what size square I need to make a half-square triangle on either corner that is the right size.
The quilt is called Morning Star and is really neat and should be easy to assemble once I determine the correct size for these squares. It consists of a 9.5" square, with 3.5x9.5" sashing strips 3.5" corner stone square. The addition of the small square (half square triangles) on either corner of the sashing gives the cornerstone block the look of an Ohio Star.
This is a lap quilt size but I have 2 other full bed quilts to make (queen and king), all with the same size pieces so really need to get the size of these squares figured out.
Haven't been doing as much sewing as I'd like. I have 2 blocks that I signed up in a round robin and these 2 I'm adding the last border and I have had a hard time getting something that will work with the orignal block and the 3 borders added before me. I've made a couple for each and they just do not look right to me and wasn't happy with them so back to the drawing board I go. I hope to get them finished this next week and in the mail. I have one of mine home, I did two but have no idea where the other one is, guess it will wander home when I least expect it. The one I did get back the lady that was supposed to add the last border just sent the block and fabric rather than adding her border.
Have a big family get together at my house this next Saturday. AND I am so looking forward to seeing my family, right now count is that about 21 will be here. If I have everyone the count would be 26. So having 21 is a good percentage. I'm doing most of the cooking which I enjoy.
