Of course it is growing on you, vines right?
Your star spin is beautiful! I did one a while back and starch is your friend on the bias edges.
LOL and thanks Tartan! Now that its over,
it wasn't so bad. I just love this pattern. I may even make another one some day. Truthfully, I didn't really have a problem with the bias edges. I knew ahead of time to be really careful. I think this is the most complex thing I've ever pieced though. I did several double-takes of the pattern to get it together correctly...Thanks again!
