Feathered Star

OK, so I finally started the feathered star.  It's going OK, with a little bit of ripping out and starting over!  Beware - there are bits and pieces missing from the directions!  Like when it says "sew your half-square triangles together in pairs", it doesn't mention that they don't all go together the same way!  Also, you need to add seam allowance to the template pieces . . . I've got the center square done (easy), and the four corner squares (not as easy, but so far they look right . . . we'll see when I go to attach them to something else!).  I'm taking my time!
