I am not very good at piecing without paper piecing patterns. I made this star twice and have one piece that still doesn't match up. Looks like I can move it in a little, but wanted to get the picture posted.

Violet, I think it looks great. When you are working with half square triangles, do you make them a little larger and then trim them down? After I learned to do that, my piecing improved tremendously and I'm not afraid of half square triangles anymore.

I like looking at all your stars.
Planned to do the stars this year, but hubby's recovery from accident in the mountains is consuming most of my time.
keep up the great work!

Jeanie G - Your star is just perfect and I really like the contrasting colors. Great job.

Here's mine. And I just realized that I made it wrong. Oh well back to the workroom.
