The 411.

How many of you remember 411 or 101.  Like Eng 101, Sci 101.  And then we had 1-411.  Then 1-800-411 and then the Phone Co. started charging for 411. (we stopped dialing 411)  For you young people 411 was telephone information phone numbers.  In songs you still occasionally hear:  I got the 411.  Eng. 101 was how college classes were listed Eng 101, Eng. 102  now you have 99, 888 and even 64132 section.  So here is the 411 one my first 12 1/2 " star block.  Stars ain't for beginners.

The size is 12 1/2.  I cut the squares an extra quarter which is not necessary.  Only the triangles have to be increased in size. Unless you go slow and can make a perfect 1/4" (not me)  The sq are 3 1/2 and rectangle of flying geese is 3 1/2 x 6 1/2.  However the 3 1/2 in  geese become 3 and 7/8.  I made them 4.  Then I had wiggle room to cut the goose straight.  the points actually match and was easy to sq up
