    Hello,

    Wow did I have a day yesterday making the star block for just one star. Im posting pictures of the day I had making this block. It was the first time I ever made a block like this. But I was very determined to get it done and get it done right. I worked on this from 10:30 am till 5:30 pm when I finally got it done and got it done right I was very happy. Now Im working on a blue and white one and hopefully I wont have problems like yesterday. Has anyone else had problems like me? lol. I wouldnt let it get me down. I just laught at myself. and said try again, try again. One more thing. I hope this red is ok is it ?

    LOL!
    I am so laughing WITH you!
    I was trying to figure out where those first pieces fit and then I realized ....oops. And oops. ;-) ;-)

    I think we've all had days like that. I know I have. Sometimes weeks. :roll:

    Well, the finished block looks great. I hope the gremlins are gone and it's smooth(er) sailing for you while making the rest of them. :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Thanks for documenting and sharing the process (and the chuckle).

    The end product looks great. Sorry you had problems with it. I made 4, had never done a star block before. Mine went together in a half-hour each. I may even make some more.

    it may have taken you all day to do it but it turned out great. the next one will be a lot quicker as will the next and the next and so on. you will wonder why it took so long soon

    Looks great. I think the red works. I've only made two blue ones, then I ran out of cream fabric. :)

    I made a dozen but yep; my first star ever and it was ripped out more times than I care to admit! I admit I ripped 2 pieces 3 times. stretched it and had to toss it out and recut. your star looks great and the color choices are really nice.
