I haven't made any of the spicy spirals yet, but when I looked at the two of them, I thought maybe one of you cut, or sewed the pattern upside down, or backwards. Not really sure what happened, but maybe you and your sister can figure it out. I love going to yard sales, and thrift stores, and finding things already started, and cheap. I think the stars were a steal for 5.00 dollars. I think your star blocks are sooo interesting, I hope you show it finished on the quilting board. Good job, good luck to you, and keep up the good work.
