As promised here are the photos of the star quilt top that caused me so much angst. Despite the fact that the points don't match and there are so many other seams that are supposed to come together that are way off, I am really pleased with it!! Once I had the information about starching the fabric at every turn (thanks to all those who replied to my cries for help) it really did make a difference. Armed with this information I will definitely attempt another one at some stage.
