I have definitely learned to buy the boo-boo bundle for projects I find online when one is offered.
Early in this BOM, I emailed the shop asking for a picture of their shop sample - no response. They have about 50 BOMs going - seriously; I'm not exaggerating - so I guess they don't do a sample for every one.
Sue did paste color photos of the blocks in her email to me. Once she did that, I realized I would never have gotten the star blocks together correctly. That's when I started this thread. I hoped to find someone else doing this BOM so we could compare experiences.
