It looks good to me. Your points match up beautifully. Don't you dare come anywhere near that with a seam ripper! In fact, give the seam ripper to your DH and have him hide it. Seriously though, quilting is supposed to be FUN. Don't worry about being perfect. Nothing in life is perfect.

You need to make a rule...."I will not take the tops apart!" Just be happy with what you are doing and if a point is off...that is okay.
Seriously...quilting is suppose to be fun...not frustrating.
It is okay to make mistakes. :-)

One quilt designer, who I love to use her patterns, says quilting is supposed to be fun, so enjoy it. I have had to learn to accept some of my mistakes because after the quilting they are not nearly as noticed as I thought they would be. If I am totally unhappy and know I could do better then I tear out or make a second one.
I think your block looks good :D

Your star is beautiful! Too often we are the hardest on ourselves and I think you are being too hard on yourself. There are many quilters here who want everything to be "perfect" but as you continue to quilt you will find that perfection is not all it is cracked up to be and in face it is impossible to achieve. Even if you have a few wrinkles and bubbles along the way getting a top quilted hides a lot of sins. I love your fabrics and completly want to see this as a finished quilt.
