Well, here are some pictures.
If you all remember, in this thread I posted a link to a blog that had a free download and Brenda Henning video for a Mariner Compass Star.
I mentioned that I could view the video, but my computer speakers are shot, so I can't hear sound.
I watched the video and saw her instruct how to make up this compass star, but I couldn't hear what she said.
I'm only partially finished with it. The part about "squaring" it up into a square is the part I'm concerned about. I saw how she did it, but, you know how they are on these shows. IT'S EASY! And then they never sew them together for you on the show. They just tell you how to do it, tell you it's easy and then let you go off cursing when it turns out not to be so easy.
I made a first attempt and a second attempt which is good enough to be my center block -- if it turns out I can sew the square part around it!
My first attempt. Not so good, couldn't fit it together that well ...

My second attempt. Much better -- not perfect, but good enough if I can sew on the square border templates.
