This poor block has been fudgd, starched, ironed (NOT pressed) and then fudged starched, ironed again to within an inch of it's life. Finally I present it as a finished top. Tomorrow I will back it and quilt it and use that black fabric next to it as it's binding, then it will be totally complete.
Now I remember too well wht I do not want to machine piece stars that are made from diamonds! What a nightmare, and I must admit that my BOM from the same store has an eight pointed diamond done exactly the same way. It can wait until I forget the pain involved with this one....

It looks lovely now! I've never tried diamonds,sometimes new experiences just remind us of what we DON'T like!
use it as a learning experience...what NOT to do ever again xx
Just personally I would have run screaming in the other direction and used a different block...well done for sticking with it.
