Trying to reverse engineer the sizes of half squares and star blocks, so the half square triangles frame the diagonally-placed blocks "evenly" without having to resort the spacers, etc. Are there simple math equations? or perhaps you could take a tape measure to your quilt? Thank you for your knowledge and teaching skills!Crazy Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17570950363219664711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085773199847638377.post-38273171501927425412020-12-25T03:00:19.020-08:002020-12-25T03:00:19.020-08:00Just catching up with your blog this AM - I LOVE t...Just catching up with your blog this AM - I LOVE the red and green star quilt!! I have some green fabric that’s been waiting for a few years for just the right project and I think this is it. I’m also a long time hand quilter and appreciate the hand quilting, but my tops are starting to pile up🙂.

I don't do everything like I used to. My Christmas Village hasn't been out for a few years, but as hubby is the one that loves it the most, I should probably have him help me put it up.<br />Love seeing your Christmas quilts. The quilt I bought from you is among the ones decorating my home right now.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085773199847638377.post-1290003018063096692020-12-14T14:49:00.606-08:002020-12-14T14:49:00.606-08:0012 Days is such a great little quilt.12 Days is such a great little quilt.Barbara Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997358370013910746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5085773199847638377.post-77925335854728283082020-12-14T14:48:21.619-08:002020-12-14T14:48:21.619-08:00I thought it was having sons—they could care less ...I thought it was having sons—they could care less about holiday decorations.
