Ugh! I'm going to run screaming out the door any minute now. This is my first try at a complicated paper pieced star. It's not going so well. As you can see the points just do not match. I thought that paper piecing was all about accuracy. Or doesn't it apply to a 3" block? Yes my friends, that is the size of that star block. Perhaps it is too small? It definitely uses twice the amount of fabric I anticipated and leaves a rather sizable pile of trash behind. I'm not sure if I should keep on experimenting with this or not. At any rate I'd say that a break would be good right about now.
