Then I trimmed it with my rotary cutter adding a quarter inch seam allowance. I then sewed them together making sure to not sew thru the seam allowance on the ouside of the star so it could be turned under during the applique process. It's fun to work with strings hardly any points to match just the one when sewing the two star halves together.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551007238143198780.post-24289452485442962892012-12-24T04:02:25.879-06:002012-12-24T04:02:25.879-06:00Merry Christmas to you and your family. enjoy eve...Merry Christmas to you and your family. enjoy every minute of the magical season.<br />I love your string star block I have wanted to make one of these for a long time, what did you use as a pattern?<br />I love seeing the fabrics you used.<br />Kathie antique quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379983489980682690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551007238143198780.post-4267972780608245472012-12-23T21:23:45.363-06:002012-12-23T21:23:45.363-06:00Merry Christmas to you too Sue!
