Jenell, you're correct, this one was difficult to organize. The reason is that the star points extend onto the following row, and that row has star points from the row below it that extend upwards. So I had to make this one row at at time, laying out the pieces for the next row as I was doing it, and thinking about the row to follow as to where the dark star bodies would be. So it was like having to work on 3 rows at a time mentally, but sewing one row at at time. Then, of course, I had to keep all the pieces in order while piecing the rows and making sure that those with directional fabric (the stripes) were all oriented the same slanting way. It kept me on my toes!
