I have to ask .. did you use the Joan Hawley Lazy Angle to make the gold stars? and, thank you for making the square into a rectangle ... I think you succeeded magnificently!
Now I have to go back to last minute finishing touches ... today did not work out like I had planned ... :oops: :oops:

I'm SO glad you like it! The gold stars are paper-pieced. I didn't know that you like the Friendship Star pattern, I just wanted to pick up on all the llittle stars in some of the fabrics in your log-cabin-ish blocks. So I found a website with a bunch of free paper-piecing star patterns - but the smallest one they had was 4 in, so I had to shrink it down to 3 in to fit the first border. Luckily I know my way around Photoshop. Anyway, I think it turned out pretty well, and I'm really, really glad you like it.

Good luck with your finishing touches. It will all work out!
