Feathered Star

I'm so very proud of my quilter's snowflake. I foolishly started it months ago, before I realized I didn't have all the information I needed to finish it. The pattern came from a 5-year-old copy of a quilting magazine. Most of the pieces were described in the article itself. Others were templates drawn in an insert that I was missing. I asked around, but none of my quilting friends could help. I found a website that advertised back issues of the magazine, but they no longer carried the one I wanted. Then I found it on eBay. But when it finally came in the mail it was missing the insert! In the end I did the math and redrew the missing pieces myself. The result isn't perfect, but at least I don't have to add it to my What Was I Thinking? file.
