Well, that explains it..I utilized the pattern A piece on page 105 and adjusted everything to it because I wasn't thinking (obviously) and was tired. I'm sorry..IMO..these instructions in this book are just WACKY..Soooo, once I went to page 108 and drafted my fabric cutting from the OTHER A foundation template (I do not do foundation piecing) for B-9 and NOT A-4 I was able to get a PERFECT 6.5" block..

..The Block colors are nicer than the pics..and the star stands out better but I did want it more subtle than the last block..so overall I am OK with it which is a good thing because I AM NOT doing it over..

..So here it is..:)Thanks for all the support..

...Sonya.
