The colors are a little off... the colors from the 1st one showed up better. I am not sure if I like this one as well.

Help from Rhonda (or anybody else who does the miniatures) -- How do you deal with the bulk where so many seams come together?

Also, I was just sewing happily away and thought my star blocks looked great. And then I had to put them together. LOL! They were not all the same size. So I got cut off tips here and there. Either I didn't sew exact 1/4 seams or (more likely) didn't cut them precisely. Still, all-in-all, for my first time, I am ok with them.

I often press my seams open when I work on Mini's. You might try that on your next one to see if that helps with the bulk.

Very very cute. Great job!!!!!
