What I did last night was clop off the seam allowance on one of my pieces to a mariners compass so I have to make another one so that is easy to do. So you have to be really careful about trimming them pieces too. I just have one more color to sew on my pieces and then sew the whole thing together after I get it laid out as some of the star points are laid out with the darker color oppsoit from the some of the other ones. I'll have to post a picture later, but I'm hoping it will come out nice. Now to go remake the one I clopped off the seam allowance from,,Grrrr.. Huggies, Fay
