This time up, I faced the somewhat daunting task on insetting 9 sets of stars within squares into the earlier star I had completed.
I was expecting difficulties. But I was pleasantly surprised and it wasn't as difficult as I had expected. Y seams can be tricky - you have to stay out of the seam allowance. No sweat there.
The problem was that when I trimmed up the blocks from the previous step, it was obvious that the paper foundation was drawn in and I couldn't use the printed seam allowance. There were a few nips and tucks, but the iron took care of that. It even seems to be laying somewhat flat!
My plan is to prepare the next set of blocks - print the instructions and templates, get the fabric ready, and stow them away until next time in the rotation. This was a quick turn-around, but it felt like a good stopping point.
Keeping it challenging!
