Y'all are right Mirabelle and qltgrose, it doesn't have the same "feeling" as the other stars. So it stands out to me too. The next round of stars are different also in that they have background spaces in the stars. Some I have made with non background pieces and others I have made with background squares. Not certain if I like the "hole" look.
Don't worry about catching up QuiltingNinaSue, some easier stars are on their way with fast piecing. I have a tendency to do about 5 or 6 at a time, then when I get down to none in reserve, I get busy again. Hope the eye specialist has a good solution for your eyesight. I need new glasses and just can't seem to get myself in for an exam. My father in law has wet macular degeneration and it is slowly being cleared up with shots. It's amazing what medicine can do these days. I hope yours is a simple fix and you are quilting again soon.
