AUG 15 2011 STAR BOM - Pictures
#26
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.
