You can do it and it will make more sense. I am going to try to join mine together this morning while I am still fresh (????) When we finish this, we will be a whole lot smarter than when we started. I love the all blue candlequilter star that Sherryl made for the paper piecing project and that keeps me going, and C9P is doing the same colors as mine and it has helped me figure out this puzzle even better. Keep on Keeping on!
