Well the picture is not very good but I need to get batteries in the camera and so I used the web camera that is on the computer not sure that will be something I try again.
I have the smaller star blocks done Now I need to do the 12 inch ones and then to sew the strips together for the sashing. I am using the Square in a Square ruler to make the blocks and it is being a little bit of a challenge. I cannot find the book that goes with the ruler and so I need to figure what size I need to cut the center black squares to cut them in half to make the Flying Geese units. The center square on these are 3 1/2 inch squares and so the flying geese units I had to cut square that were 2 1/2 in I think I did not write it down and I should of because I am now trying to figure out what size to cut the center for the bigger squares and it is not going well I thought 4 3/4 would do it and that is not large enough. So I guess I need to cut the square 5 inches for a 6 1/2 inch diagonal cut $*&#(# I hope that works out right. I can use the strip I cut to do the black frame around the bigger blocks so it is not wasted but it is frustrating I am debating if it would just be better to clean and go thru my book shelf and find that how to book for the ruler. Then I would have the info I needed to make these units correctly.
The info used to be on the designer of the rulers web site but she has taken that down and so I am out of luck there. I do like how the flying geese units are coming out but this cut and guess method is not work out.
Oh well back at it or I will not get any where today.
