Point The Star 2 Download

3. Make your compass slightly wider than your original circle and place the point of your compass where the line intersects with the bottom of the circle (marked by a black cross). Draw two short arcs as shown below.

10. Now place the point of your compass on the intersection of the vertical line that passes through the centre of the larger circle and the lower edge of that circle. Draw an arch semi-circle that kisses the edge of the small circle.

While I love the elegance of drawing geometric designs simply using a compass and a straight edge, if you want to draw a more complicated star design you may find it easier to use the following method.

The placement of these dots will determine the size of your star, each dot being the outer extremity of a point. You can check out this tutorial on achieving perfect spacing for petals and spokes, if you need help with the dot layout.

Switching to a different sample here, to show you further progress around the star. The blue star above has three layers of stitching complete. Notice that, as you move down the lines on each point of the star, the threads pull the sides of the star inwards.

Notice that the more stitches you build up over that first layer of stitches that makes the foundation of the star, the more the fabric pulls around the points of the stars. This problem may be solvable by slackening the tension on that first layer of stitches.

In the case of the 8 point star, skipping two dots rather than one would solve the problem of the hole in the middle (though of course, continue to move around the dots one by one, so the process would be, needle out at hole one, forward to fourth hole, needle in, needle out at second hole, in at fifth, etc.).

Patriotic Prairie Point Star Ornaments hung in a window makes a beautiful display from Memorial Day through to the 4th of July. When making them in red, white and blue fabrics, use 15 prairie points instead of 16.

This is beautiful. I found that if I threaded all the points on the needle at once and just went through the cushion once with all of them, it was much easier to do. I have arthritis in my hands and found it quite difficult to keep going through all that fabric. Once one side was done, I just turned it over, and repeated on the flip side.

Each time you add a new prairie point to the stuffed circle, the raw edge of the previous one is covered up (as shown in the fifth photo on page 4) and then the raw edge of the final prairie point is tucked under the first (as shown in photo 7 on page 4.)

I'm 17 rows into a 12 point star afghan and it ruffles. It was flat until about row 9. I've tried making the stitches tighter which seems to be making the ends a little stiffer but it still won't lay flat. At this point I'm going to have to live with it like this or start over. For future reference, what am I doing wrong?

From looking at this picture, it started to flute way back at the 1st color change. Check your pattern way back there and see if the instructions told you to do too many stitches starting there. Or perhaps you doubled stitches by mistake back in that area. The bottom of each ripple has to decrease at a different rate than the increases at the top, or your ghan won't come out round and flat at the same time.

Thank you for the advice. I took it apart, adjusted the pattern, and now it's an 8 point star laying perfectly flat. I am reducing every few rows when it starts to get loose. I'll post another pic when I get a little further into it. I found a tutorial for this pattern on youtube. It calls for a 6mm hook. Seems I might be able to make 12 points lay flat with a smaller hook but the hook I'm using (6mm) won't do that for me.

This quilt block was a collaboration with QT Fabrics. They were kind enough to send me over the fabric for this no-y-seam eight-point star quilt block. I love the Patchwork Farms fabric. The fabrics I used for the star reminded me of the handkerchiefs that my dad always carried in his back pocket. His handkerchiefs were usually navy blue though. Unfortunately, this block is only available in this size, Squash House Quilts had a smaller version but they have gone private.

This is my very favorite stars quilt pattern ever....and of course it's because there are NO POINTS of the stars to match up and stress over! Thus the name "No Point Stars"...in case you were confused...naming quilts is not my talent!

This pattern is awesome. I just finished a star baby quilt and am so pleased with how it turned out. The pattern lends itself to so many possibilities and I was able to use some left over 3 inch square ninepatches for the center. Many thanks for this pattern. It is one of my favorites already!

Thank you for creating this pattern! I love a good star pattern, and one that doesn't require points is even better!! I do have a quick question.... the pattern states 1/4 yard of each fabric (so total of 1/2 yrd, if I go yardage route instead of FQ) for all sizes?! Is that correct?! I'm not very good at quilt math but that surely doesn't seem right for a crib size all the way up to a king?? HELP! Where have I gone wrong?!

The star (or mullet) is comparatively rare in medieval heraldry, but from an early time, the five-pointed star was preferred in English and Scottish heraldry (e.g. in the Dering Roll, c. 1270), while the preferred number of points in German heraldry was six.[1]

The star in the coat of arms of the De Vere family was in legend attributed to the First Crusade, when "a white star [...] did light and arrest upon the standard of Aubre de Vere".The de Vere star is notorious in English history, because in the Battle of Barnet in 1471, the star badge of the Earl of Oxford was mistaken for the sun badge of Edward IV by the Earl of Warwick, so that he erroneously attacked his own ally, losing the battle, which probably changed the outcome of the entire War of the Roses.[2]

The five-pointed stars on the flag of the United States were introduced in the Flag Act of 1777. The Flag Act did not specify any particular arrangement, number of points, nor orientation for the stars and the arrangement.[4] Some flag makers arranged the stars into one big star, in a circle or in rows and some replaced a state's star with its initial.[5] One arrangement features 13 five-pointed stars arranged in a circle, with the stars arranged pointing outwards from the circle (as opposed to up), the so-called Betsy Ross flag. The American flag shown in the painting Surrender of Lord Cornwallis by John Trumbull (c. 1820, depicting an event of 1781) shows twelve stars arranged along the outline of a rectangle with an additional star in the center.[6]

Five-pointed stars became more frequently used in the 19th century.The coat of arms of Valais, adopted for the Rhodanic Republic (1802), was designed with twelve five-pointed stars.The flag of Chile, introduced in 1817, has a single five-pointed star known as La Estrella Solitaria (The Lone Star). The similar flag of Texas was introduced in 1839.The star and crescent used by the Ottoman Empire was shown with an eight-pointed stars in early forms (18th century), but was changed to a five-pointed star in the official flag in 1844.Numerous other national or regional flags adopted five-pointed star designs in the later 19th to early 20th century, including Venezuela (1859), Honduras (1866), Puerto Rico (1895), Philippines (1898), Cuba (1902), Panama (1925), Jordan (1928) and Pakistan (1947). The Flag of Minnesota and 1901 Maine Flag both utilized the 5-pointed design.

The five-pointed star also came to be widely used in military badges in the 19th century. A red star was used as the badge of XII Corps of the Union Army in the American Civil War, while VII Corps used a five-pointed star in a crescent. In 1916, a five-pointed red star was used by the U.S. Army Signal Corps' aviation section.[7]

The Flag of Europe, designed in 1955 on behalf of the Council of Europe (CoE) and adopted by the European Communities in 1985 (and thus inherited as the flag of the European Union upon its creation in 1993) has a circle of twelve yellow (gold) stars on a blue (azure) field.[9]

The use of "star" for theatrical lead performers dates to 1824, giving rise to the concept of "stardom" in the film industry. The Hollywood Walk of Fame, where famous entertainers are honored with pink terrazzo five-pointed stars along Hollywood Boulevard, was introduced in 1958.[10]

In association football, there is a tradition of using five-pointed stars in team badges to represent victories. The first team to adopt such a star was Juventus, in 1958, to represent their tenth Italian Football Championship and Serie A title.[11] The star was later formally adopted by some organisations as a symbol for ten titles, and the ratio of one star for ten titles has become the most common arrangement.[12]

As a symbol or emblem, the five-pointed star, or mullet of five points, arises from classical heraldry, and it shares none of the esoteric or occult associations given to the pentagram, or "Seal of Solomon", since at least the Renaissance period.

The two emblems are frequently associated, or identified, in contemporary conspiracy theories, especially referencing the use of five-pointed stars in the flags of the United States and European Union.[13]

Originally the piata took the shape of the 7 point star and was used in the period leading up to Christmas. In 1586 the Augustinian friars received authorisation from the Pope to hold special masses before Christmas. During the masses the friars introduced the Piata. They used them as an allegory to help convert the native people to Christianity. The 7 points of the star represented the 7 deadly sins. The bright colours the temptation to fall into these sins. The blindfold is our faith, and the stick is our will to overcome these sins. The prizes inside the piata are meant to represent the riches we will receive in the kingdom of heaven.

Another general approach is to calculate the coordinates of all the corner points and then connect them with goto() calls. Note that all the relevant points lie on two concentric circles. I recently answered a question about how to calculate regularly spaced points on a circle, so we could use that code here: 006ab0faaa
