Stars: Doesn't Look Like Much


...but doing the four corners of pattern couching in the Clark Gable block took me almost six hours!  It would have taken less time if I wasn't constantly interrupted as I stitch, if I'd realized that I was using the wrong base thread on the second quadrant before I had four rows in, and if I could count correctly the first time, but it is done and it looks very nice.  You can see the shading of the charcoal to black threads in the kite shaped area from the previous step in this photo well, also.
