I'm thinking that the small stars I chose for the first border are more than I want to do. I've completed 3 of them, another 5 are in the HST stage, and I just don't like working with them.
The pieces are small and the block is so small that they are very bulky. There is no room for error or fudging, or nudging, into submission. If it's too frustrating and not enjoyable to work on it's going to turn into a UFO and I don't want that.
I may try and complete these first 8 and then assess how it's going. I worked on it for quite awhile last night just to get two more blocks done.
