Quilting Class # 12.....Last one for this session

It was today......except when I got there no one was there.  So I went in anyway figuring I was the first one there.  I was so very wrong.

There were 5 of us that did not read the schedule and therefore did not realize that it was last week!!  It has always been the last Friday of the month :(

Thankfully we have a patient and kind teacher who gave us a quick tutorial on how to make this very hard block. 

This is the block that the rest of the blocks were based on.  It commemorates 9/11.

 I will post a pic when done, but to describe it:  center is a red pentagon, pentagon for obvious reasons and red for the blood that was shed.  Star points are gray to represent the ash.  Background is blue to represent the blue sky of that day.  She also spoke of Flight 93, but I can not remember how she explained the 9 and the 3.  Maybe you can figure it out once I post the pic.

My friend and I spent hours just trying to piece the center correctly and neither of us were successful!
Going to work on it now and hopefully make some progress.
