Two stars finished, and they're gorgeous!! Well done Victoria and Brooke!

I've made some progress although not as much as you ladies. I have the geese and the little one done, as for the star ... I turned to EQ7 which had more than a few feathered stars but none with the same center. I could have re-drawn the center, but decided to use one of EQ's stars (it has another lone star in the center - I know - I'm a glutten for punishment but I liked it and it fit with the color idea I had in my head). I then spent the entire day trying to figure out how to get it to print so I could paper piece the sections. Finally figured that out, then I printed and cut the paper out excluding the outer seam allowances. I then laid the pieces out and measured them and sure enough, I had a 15" finished size. Then I printed them again using my paper piecing paper and all is now ready to go. I didn't dare start piecing until I had laid out the paper pieces to make sure the size was right.

I'll probably end up hand piecing the Y seams - or at least the center of the Y seams.
