Variable Star variation

This is the first of about 35 I am making from the Oct 2011 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine cover quilt.  Mine will be a bit different, smaller and all scrappy, but I will use blue sashing and gold setting triangles.  And they will set en pointe.  I'll be using mostly my cut stash of 2 1/2" squares for this one, I get to "shop in my shoebox" for them.
