Hi Jan, In case you haven’t noticed, I’m in the process of redesigning all of my “earlier” (prior to 2018), quilt blocks on my blog. So Please look for these two “Missouri Star Quilt Blocks” on Wednesday, September 25th & I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed by my new cutting & sewing instructions!
Hi Jan! Did my blog post from Sept. 25th answer your all of your questions? If not, please use my contact form, so I can try to help you further.
