You made it through the feathered star. Congratulations! This month Sue's homework includes setting the star on point as well as adding four patch and floater borders. Floater borders add a great bit of accent while allowing the four-patch units to fit perfectly. And last but not least, you will begin the first of many saw tooth star blocks that will come into play later this year. This is a long list of things to do, but remember to take it slowly and pace yourself.
