Very nice. You did great.
That is Eleanor Burns Star Log Cabin pattern. I made one and love that pattern.
I like your colors.

I have a book with the pattern in it and it has templates for the trapazoid and the diamonds. I bet that was a bugger to draft. The pattern went together really well. So if you ever want to do another, holler and I will let you borrow my pattern.
