    I can't wait to see the finished product! I love your color choices and the mariners star, but I'm afraid to attempt it!

    I see some points that looks like they go almost to the edge of the circle, but it is hard to tell how much allowance is letf beyond the point. I would say for first atempt this is a very good start, but I have never made one of these so don't know if that will through off the next round. You have done a good jpb of picking and place the fabrics.

    This is a really lovely piece. I have done a couple of these blocks and know the challenges-many people paper piece them to avoid some of the precision of handling all the pieces. The biggest challenge, I think, is fitting the circle onto the compass. Perhaps Elmer's school glue would be a good way to go.

    Looks good to me, too. You could add a brighter color where those little points are, but the one you have is lovely. Your work looks good, too!
