They are contagious and they're highly addictive. Read on at your own peril.
What I'm talking about is 3" finished stars.
I am hand piecing them. No background fabric has been chosen for them yet, but it will be the same for all blocks, not scrappy. There is already a lot going on. The little motifs fit perfectly under the template and then it's fun to hunt for a complimentary coloured fabric for the contrast.
Drafting the pattern was slightly tricky. I used Jinny Beyer's advice and folded a 3" piece of paper to get the right size for the star segments. At 3", accuracy is mandatory. Who knows how many will make a nice sized quilt.
I've been preparing a few at a time and sewing them in the evening in front of the telly.
Three more for tonight. You have been warned.

I am a paper folder too. The stars are great. I can see why the addiction is taking place.
They look very fun, and I love the size, but I am not on good terms with Y-seams, so I doubt I will get hooked. : )
Very cute indeed...but thankfully I am not tempted!
I just started playing with Marg's Star templates. 1" star pieces that are set into a hexi. OMG, what a slippery slope that is!
I love three inch stars and agree they can become...addictive. Yours look great.
