I am attempting to make a quilt top with four 5" lone star blocks. I have pieced each section on a paper foundation. Which is a good way to get them perfect, although there are tricks even to that as I have tossed a few. The first block was discarded because I put it together while it was still on the paper which made everything too bulky and stretched the seams so that the thread showed. I tried again and although I pieced each section on paper, that is where the "easy" part ended. I decided to remove all of the paper when the block was trimmed up. I starched and pressed the seams open. Then I followed the directions for assembly from a Jan Krentz lone star book. It came together much better and is almost perfect. One down, three to go...
