FUDGE FACTOR, YOU SAY

                         My Maverick Star went a bit too "maverick " here.....
                                 off the rails , so to speak...;0000

How much of a "fudge factor" do you allow???? Discerning quilters
want to know 👯👮😇 
("Hello, is this the sewing police??" lol).

And so...(SIGH):
I took her apart and redid her...
Now I absolutely HATE un-sewing...
but I cannot use my usual Fudge Factor here--it's way too mis-aligned....
AND..................
This is better ;)))  don't you think?? 
(patting myself on the back here) hahaha

I am moving along
slowly with these stars...doing them in sections....


                   I love choosing the centers from my fussy cut print; 
                  and then deciding what color of 2.5" squares for the surround; 
and
then making the star points; 
and finally sewing rows together --
ironing the seams open to help with bulky crossings.....;}}}}}

I  am beginning to get the hang of working with scissors; and as my squares are 
already pre-cut,  it's easy to just use my small Friskars scissors to trim up........
