I have trouble with all hand stitching. So again I had to adapt the design and methods for the blocks.
I did make freezer paper templates for the design, but I put the pieces together and sewed them. I decided to keep going and to sew the background pieces on too. I was at a quilt away from home sewing event when I did this and I realized I didn't have the fabric I thought I had stacked to bring, so it came out a little differently than I had envisioned. But I'm pleased with the effect. (Originally I was going to put additional points on some of the pieces so it looked more like a star, but now it looks like a planet or maybe a meteor like we saw last weekend while in Colorado. Cool!)
I could have been more deliberate with the way the seams went, it could have added additional detail in the final block.

Fantastic that you were able to make this design your own and also link it to fun memories! Great job!!
