I tried to email a response to you, but...Hi Jenny,<br /><br />I tried to email a response to you, but you are set up as a "no-reply" commenter on Blogger which means I don't have any idea where my email response to you ended up.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm sorry you're having problems with this quilt block. I actually received an email from another quilter who tried to use a Creative Grids 15 degree ruler and had a similar problem.<br /><br />I believe different rulers may have a narrower tip than the Stack n Whack, thus causing the lack of a center opening you mentioned. The width of my ruler at the skinny tip is approximately 3/4". The center opening of my finished circles is 2", and around that center edge there is a scant 1/4" of each individual wedge showing.<br /><br />If the ruler you are using is truly 15 degrees then mathematically speaking you need 24 wedges to make a circle. But if the narrow edge of each of your wedges is more narrow than mine cut using the Stack n Whack ruler, the resulting center circle is going to be much smaller or even non-existent. <br /><br />Can you experiment with cutting some more wedges from scrap fabric? Try to find the marking line on your ruler that will give you a 3/4" cut narrow edge and use that rather than the ruler end. I'm hoping this makes sense; it's so difficult to try and explain things without photos.<br /><br />I hope this helps you. The only other advice I can give you is to double check your seam allowances. A scant 1/4" really works best with this block.<br /><br />Best of luck! Let me know what happens next.<br />ShelleyShelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518834618234390750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256348226467340988.post-21036517093097979872016-01-11T19:42:43.265-06:002016-01-11T19:42:43.265-06:00Hi Shelley,

I cut my first strips and wedges and was so eager to sew. My local quilt shop did not have the 15 degree stack n whack, but did carry the creative grids 15 degree triangle which they said could be used. However, not only am I not getting the open circle after making my first 3 wedges, I am not able to make a full sunburst. After sewing each wedge, my seam falls right in the middle of the small edge which is so tight when joining the sets. What am I doing incorrectly? Please help if you can. Your instructions and pictures are so clear and easy to understand which is why I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.Jenny Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07438304606083372403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256348226467340988.post-60762755400074442702014-04-22T16:36:48.368-05:002014-04-22T16:36:48.368-05:00I want to share the Sunburst quilt tutorial on the...I want to share the Sunburst quilt tutorial on the Missouri Star Quilt Company's Forum.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256348226467340988.post-82276611651506365512014-04-03T16:31:26.054-05:002014-04-03T16:31:26.054-05:00Thanks for your kind words, Preeti!

You'll need traditionally cut 1/4 yards (9" x 42") as opposed to fat quarters.<br /><br />My quilt has 12 sunbursts made from 6 different print fabrics as listed in the supplies above. If you'd like to make a larger quilt, you'll need a 1/4 yard cut for every set of 2 sunburst blocks you'd like to have in your quilt. For example, if you wanted to make a quilt with 20 sunbursts, you would need 10 different 1/4 yard cuts of fabric to make up the colored parts of your sunbursts. You would also have to adjust the quantities needed for the background and accent fabrics as well.<br /><br />I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have other questions, and thanks for stopping by :)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12518834618234390750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256348226467340988.post-72282537745868553382013-07-23T11:23:17.988-05:002013-07-23T11:23:17.988-05:00I must be missing something but what does WOF stan...I must be missing something but what does WOF stand mean? Also, if the fabric measurements give us 2 blocks and your finished quilt has 9 bursts (which I am guessing is a block) then we need to multiply it by 5 to get more than 9 bursts/blocks?
