23. After sewing, cut the small center point
away or it will get too thick with each new
addition.

 

24. Trim the excess seam allowance after
each new added piece. This prevents
bulking.

third piece on to the second. This is how it
looks when finished. Now sew the other
three pieces to each other so that you now
have 2 star halves.

 

26. Position now each half with right sides
facing over each other, matching the
middles. Pin together and sew together.
