Don't give up it does get easier...Someone who did the farmhse actually printed twice and cut up and taped together and colored in areas which made it much easier for her...might try it if you feel your gettting mixed up. But as you can see we all do our own thing and they are all beautiful..as is yours.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. It was a good learning experience, it was just the pesky A4 and A5 pieces that got me in a tizz. I did draw the star on paper, and colour it in, but still got it wrong when I sewed, duh! Hope next month's star isn't paper pieced though!

Cornish Maid, your block may have come out differently than you expected, but it's still a vibrant star. I like it! Tulip, thanks for the compliment! Gwenny, Judy's explaination of changing the friendship star from 1 to four is just right. I reworked it to eliminate some seams and to allow the center to not be broken up, and here's a photo of how my drawing looks.
