    Love the blue and gold star, PokerDiva. Two great colors together. Nice to work on an easy one, wasn't it.

    Another August star. Nice to have an easy one this month so I think I'll take this opportunity to go back and fix my February one, which I wasn't happy with. One reason I really like paper piecing is that my stars end up the size they're supposed to be. Even the August star, with so few seams, came out small. I try to do scant seams but...........?? I'm going to have a problem when I put them together. Can't cut the others smaller because I'll lose their points.

    It's a very pretty star, Whitepine. If it's just a tiny bit small, you can always block it using some starch. I notice when I press mine using starch after finishing them, they usually end up the right size.

    The stars on the white background and the floral sections are a shiny silver color. I can't photograph it well enough to really show that. Thank you for a relatively simple block this month. I have had too many "gray moments" this month - my house block is not even started yet.
