Spinning Stars pattern

Spinning Stars is a quilt by Lee Robinson. The pattern is one the quilter's projects in the Patchwork & Quilting magazine Yearbook 2001.
Each hexagonal block will measure 10cm (4inches) with the finished quilt measuring 128cm x 152cm (50.5in x 60in).

I've collected the material, some of it new and some from fabrics that I have used in other quilts.
I'm not a good one for reading and following patterns.

I use the diagrams to help me work out how each piece in a block goes together.

I think it's probably more important to follow the pattern when sewing quilts by machine as each piece has to be placed and sewn in order to ensure the pieces fit together.
