I've downloaded every ebook and cannot find the Sweet Scandivanian Star Block. When I try to get the pattern, it doesn't give me the pattern measurements. Could you please send them to me. Thank you

I have looked and looked for this pattern whenever this block is shown, but I can't find it. This is very frustrating.

What's wrong with the instructions given at the link for "Click here for the quilt project"? They look very easy to follow.

Unfortunately when you open that link it shows very nice pictures but nothing on size of the pieces or finished size of the block

It doesn't give the size for the pieces. It only tells you how to put it together.

Love the look. Would look fab in blue/white, especially if while had a dash of silver metallic. Too bad no cutting instructions. Need pattern for 12" finished blocks for party swap.

Thanks, theoriginaldallas! The reason we've only linked to the tutorial above is because it is free, while the pattern is priced. Thank you for including this link for those who wish to purchase the pattern!

Where can I find the actual pattern? Tutorial is good but there is no sizes for cutting out and I have looked for any link to it but could not find it. A tutorial is not much use if you don't have the sizing for the pieces to begin with.

Hi robymac, The reason we've only linked to the tutorial above is because it is free, while the pattern is priced. A fellow commentor has included a link to the priced pattern if you would like to purchase it. Thanks!
