Stars used to intimidate me until I made a Sawtooth Star quilt, king-sized for my girlfriends' 55th birthday. I loved making the little stars as much or more than the larger 8" stars. The star within a star block was just the coolest. Had never made a star before and it was so much easier than it looked. It was a matter of breaking down the block into sections and looking at it from that view. I even made little stars and edged her pillowcases with them. I love your pattern.
