To pretty fabric choices to just give up. Make it work into a wall hanging, with other blocks around it...a pillow top....a pot holder...don't you throw that away, Sug!
When I'm piecing stars I can't have anything else on my mind but the block cutting. I have close my ears, my mind to everything but the block.
I agree whoever said to lay out the pieces on your small planning board first. These intricate designs have to be laid out beside my machine to keep my attention focused.
Hugs, Henry, you'll get it, you've to much talent not to.
