I'm too naive (stupid?) to be intimidated by Jane, so I decided to take an aggressive approach with the order I do the blocks. In my infinite wisdom, I decided to start with the hardest blocks first and work my way down to the easiest. Get the rough stuff out of the way, then enjoy the easy part when the enthusiasm might otherwise be flagging, right? Right??
In all my reading, the one block in particular that kept popping up as the scary one was G6. So, by golly, you know which block I'm going to start with! The center star is wonky, but, well, what is it they say? Finished is better than perfect? I'M sure not doing it over! :-D
I wouldn't do it over either, I recall seeing this one done on Simply Quilts, may even have it recorded somewhere. the small triangles on the center star weren't sewn as such, they were folded back to make them dimentional. You did a great job with this challanging block. Mine are sitting under a pile of fabric waiting to be turned into somthing - I know they are there ready to torture me someday ;-)
