Finally, mine is done. This one took a while. Then I had problems getting my blocks to match up. Turns out that my printer is set at a little less than 100%, so every time I made a copy of the pattern, it would get a little smaller, but not so much that I noticed until I had 3 different block sizes! So now I've got some odd blocks to do something with. I think that at the end I will put all my "rejects" together to make something. Can't wait for the next star!

I guess I will have to just be ok with being behind. I know I will catch a tail wind one day.
So here is my Alaska Star for March. I couldn't do two colors .

I wasn't going to do the extra two, but when the first one went together so easily I decided to do the others. They do take a long time but end up right where they're supposed to. Just barely made it for the April star. The pale color is really a yellow but doesn't show up very well.
