The four little pairs of triangles around the center are the next to last step for this quilt block. They don't look like much, but they were a struggle for me because the thread choices Tony wanted used in this step didn't work for me.
The wings are made up of five horizontal lines covered by a series of short vertical lines arranged in a stitch one/skip one pattern. You are supposed to use C8 (which is Flair for me) as your horizontal lines and top them with C5 (which is Impressions). C in my color scheme is terracotta. You'll notice that my wings are violet instead and they are all in my A10 color of Wildflowers 6042. I decided I wanted to tone down the Frosty Rays bow tie shapes which are very raised in my version of Stars by using another color than their terracotta. My wings are textured and match the center light violet arrowhead shapes.
The last step is rice stitches around the perimeter of the design but the threads and color pattern seems to be different according to the shape the rice stitches fill (either little triangles or the corner squares). I expect to conquer most of this tonight and then work on finishing the two sashing sections underneath and to the right of Marlon Brando. I probably will not work the outside black border until after the sashing is finished.

This is moving very quickly and pretty too! I like this one and when you put the black around it, it is certainly going to pop!
