The block this month is called The Northern Star. Its paper pieced which I'm not quite sure I'm ready to do again. You see, about 2 years ago I took a paper-pieced, offset pineapple workshop. You were supposed to make a wall-hanging. It had over 400 small paper-pieced bits or fabric. I wanted to burn it by the time I was done. Had that wall-hanging been a person, I would have punched it in the throat. Yup.
Anyhoo, I got through it but have avoided paper-piecing ever since. I have to admit though, this was not as bad as I thought it would be.
The worst part was this middle small sqaure:

| This took a while and I had to rip out the seam joining the two halves together because my first go was off centre. |
But, in the end, not bad. Here is the finished block. Although its not perfect, I'm not hating it enough to rip it apart and fix it.
Mission accomplished!
