I got the center square and points for two stars, and a few of the feathers cut out. I thought I better stop cutting and make sure that I really want to do this before I cut any more. one picture is just looking at the colors together. Ignore the flowered background. I need a new ironing board cover and I've got a folded sheet on there for now. :)
I have the Matri Michell feathered star templates. I've had them for many years but have used the shapes for other things, not the star. The most exacting part is the feathers... of course! I took the two FQs for one set of feathers, layed the first one face up on the ironing board and sprayed it with starch. Layed the other fabric face down on the damp piece and smoothed them together and ironed them.
They are staying together very well with the starch while I cut strips, cut the triangles from the strips, and sew them together.
