Pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-answer-my-friendis-blowin-in-the-wind-pinwheel-star

Notes: This square was really pretty hard. Where I really struggled was row 9. But once I figured out that the two double crochet cluster is really dc2tog and corner means the point of the star, it changed everything.  Well except for on that one side where it's still a little uneven . Over all though huge thumbs up to this square. Really lovely.

Pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/versailles---12-square

Notes:  I used a bunch of little scrap yarns on this one. Hence the craziness. At 6 (ish) inches it's hard to really get into the pattern but maybe you can  make it out a bit.

Square #81: Nordic Star Square

Tools needed: size H hook, yarn needle, tape measure or ruler

Yarn needed:  at least 2 colors medium (4) worsted weight yarn

Pattern: http://web.archive.org/web/20010816055926/members.aol.com/lffunt/nordicsq.html

Notes: Apparently I've just given up worrying about making it 6".  This is probably at least 10'. In retrospect I should have stopped after the red and skipped to the last two rows.  But for some reason I just kept going.  On my 81st square, I think it's fair that I blame granny fatigue.
