Thank you, HelenW. I began this by wanting to do a nativity scene, The bottom half was easy to draw, since I planned on doing raw edge appliqué. I got in trouble when I drafted the star. I had lines crossing in such a way it was impossible to sew. After trying to sew it 3 times, I ended up tossing it, and putting the bottom have in a drawer. I decided this November to try one more time. I re-drafted a new star, and had to sew it 5 times before I was happy with it. After finishing the piecing, I remembered my stash of antique buttons (some are over a hundred years old) and it all came together. Now onto my January wall hanging!
