Only you can see the imperfections. From the photo it looks lovely to me.

Okay, agreed, I'm old and my eyesight just ain't what it used to be, but for the life of me I can't find a single point that is off. Not one! great job. You should be very proud of yourself.
I am still working up the nerve to do a Lone Star, just not quite there yet.

Normally my rule is 3, with this one tough, I thik Iripped some up to 5 or 6 times...I really wanted it to be perfect...alas, it does keep me humble,lol :mrgreen: Thanks for the suggestion about basting.
