It looks great! All those points look perfect to me. Are you paper piecing?

I think it is but if you all could just let me know if there are any major issues which I need to fix (I know pictures aren't perfect) that would be great.

I think you did super. Your points are in line from small star in middle to outside points. Beautiful work and love your color choices.

I've done New York Beauties, but I don't know if they are done the same way as yours. Your block is BEAUTIFUL!!! I think pride in workmanship shows through in your block!!! Very nice work!!

I have found that the star points were the hardest with making a curved seam. I redid the seam about 10 times and am still a little nervous that it isn't perfect. I'm kind of anal. Does anyone have suggestion how to perfect a round seam? I've looked on line and watched youtube videos but I still need to work on it. Also I tried to use elmer's glue but it still wasn't working out right.

As for how long it took me to make the first block it took me the weekend but I wasn't working on it constantly.

Yesterday I started on the next block and by the end I nailed the lining up of my seams. I was really excited!!!

Thank you everyone for your input.
