I finished the first border strip last night and did the first roll forward, then unrolled it so I could take a picture of the progress. I need to print a picture of the log cabin placement if I'm going to outline the star in the center. I almost forgot about that and when I remembered I had a brief moment of panic thinking I had messed up on the first block. Luckily, the star doesn't start until the second row of blocks.
It's going fine and getting more comfortable to do.
Hmmm... the second picture of the border closeup really doesn't look like that. It decreased the picture clarity when uploaded and it made the stitching look uneven.
