Progress on Christmas Star

When I got home this evening after going out to dinner, I was really inspired to work on my Christmas Star from class today.  Either that, or I was so hyped up from the three glasses of iced tea that I drank at dinner.  Either way, I got busy working on it.  Now, I have a total of 6 of the points done.  See?

So then I decided to work on some of the feathers.  I figured I wanted to see how it was going to turn out.  I sure am glad that I worked on the star points when I was in class, because I didn't have near as much luck with the feathers as the points.  I started working away and was really excited to get my first strip done. 

 Yeah, right!  That was when I realized that I had all the colors backwards.  It's supposed to look like this:

So, first I had to copy that part of the pattern again and start over with the correct colors in the correct spots.  I had about, well let's say several, false starts and ripped "several" times and finally got the one pictured here above.  That's when I decided that maybe it's time to quit for the evening.  Either I'm just plain tired or I'm coming down from the iced tea high I was on and the concentration is just plain gone.  Anyway, here's where stuff is supposed to go so you can get an idea of how it's supposed to turn out.
