I had to go back and finish step 1 so that I could make progress on step 6. So far I have only finished 4 of the dark stars and 1 of the light. I still need to finish the large string blocks but I am saving that for another day. I have my seam guide set for the 1/4 inch seam and don't want to remove it to work on more string blocks.
I am going to do all the dark blocks first. I cut those squares. Once finished I will go on to the light star blocks.
