  I was making a  12-1/2x12-1/2 block for a swap for someone who wishes for a block with red, white and blue -- but not patriot shades of those colors.  So I chose a Carol Doak paper piece star which I really enjoy doing.  This is it.  I had it all together when I saw a mistake.  I'll admit the mistake but will not point it out.  When you're piecing 56 little bits into a 12x12 area, things can be overlooked or done wrong.  I think often of reading that the wonderful Amish quilters always put a mistake into their work so as not to challenge the perfection of the Deity.  I am so sure of my own imperfection that I don't even have to think about planting  mistake.  One inevitably happens. No apologies.  I never had any illusion about perfection.

Love your combination of hues and those funky birds in the background fabric ;-)
I am so glad you have no illusions of perfection. Remember that when you get my 12 1/2 piece. Yours looks great.
