One very pretty star

This is ONE. very. pretty. star...
if I do say so myself!
 
The starry points are fairly easy to construct.
The Y seams...
NOT so much.
:/
Looks like I need some
PRACTICE
on those!!!
 

I used 2" strips.
You can use any width.

Use the 45degree line on your ruler.
Line it up with the seam.
Cut a 2" section off.
 
IF you are using 2 1/2", 3" etc. wide strips..
THAT's the measurement you'll cut here.

Make 8 of these....

and....
8 of these!!!

Join them.
These are your STARRY points!

Add some white in all the corners.
 
If I make a whole bunch of these..
I'll have a very pretty quilt.
and...
Maybe I'll conquer that
Y SEAM!!!
