8 point star

Of all the fabric I have collected over the years... these are some of my favorites.

I picked some cute Lotta Jansdotter fabric to start this project.  I made some custom pattern pieces out of an old plastic office folder to construct a classic 8 pointed star with Y seams.

Here is the first completed block.  It was a nit-picky, but oh so satisfying, and it went quite smoothly.  Look at my cutie pattern pieces all lying in a row!  They're so nice.  I love them.

Here's a snapshot from the Adobe Illustrator file where I designed the pieces:

I also love Adobe Illustrator.  What would I do without you, Adobe?*
