I think you had a great go at it Rachael - it isn't wonky or anything, but your fabric placement makes it look a bit lopsided. If you compare the two sides at the top of that central bookmark shape, the right side light strip doesn't go all the way to the top compared to the left side.

If you look at the bottom of the bookmark shape, and the two strips of light fabric that go on either side of the point of the bookmark shape, one is much longer than the other one. If you can put those right when you redo, you will have cracked it.

I think what I am trying to say is that the left side of that bookmark shape is great, and the right side isn't quite the same.
