My 2cents worth: the Bali Star is expensive. In this case you get what you pay for. It's a beautiful quilt and very complicated. The directions are very accurate and long for this complicated quilt. The paper pieces are beautifully made. It takes uninterupted concentration. The results are worth the challenge. And the creator of this pattern deserves the reward of their labor.
You go girl, you can do it. One block at a time and eventually it'll be done.
