Thank you, toomanyufo's! I think the biggest challenge of this pattern is lining all of them up properly and trying to get the little points aligned and is easier than dealing with the bulk factor. Remove the papers first before joining to make it easier in handling the bulk, but it isn't too bad when the 4 blocks meet. There is also a trick in snipping the seam allowances where the 4 bl. meet so they interlock to reduce the bulk. Can't wait to see your mini and so glad you are giving it a try! This is one of my favorite patterns and makes a great mini!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments!
