Shining Star, Part 3

The third set of diamonds or points has been started. I'm a little concerned because in measuring the radius from the center to the tip of the first point in this third set is only about 14 inches, which points to a diameter of 28 inches once this third set of diamonds/points is complete.

This concerns me because all that's left to do after that is to fill in the spaces between these white points with lilac to make it into a circle shape and then finishing with a 2-round border around the whole thing, and it doesn't seem like that's going to add another 7 inches to get it to measure to the 35-inch final diameter the pattern states. I may end up having to add some rounds to the border to get it to finish at an acceptable size.

That's George in one of his favorite hangout spots behind the glider.
