I had the parts all messed up so I am cutting and starting over but I will not be defeated if I can keep from it. I feel your pain and agony. I will keep a watchful eye on your progress.

After the long haul of unsewing, I am positive that this will be a most fabulous quilt and you will be happy with your decision to do all that work. I wish I lived closer so I could help you unsew.

Maybe a solid, cut more pieces the same size and alternate. Kind of a thousand pyramids. The starlight would have ended uo larger but not ripping.

My triangles ended up being too small, and I had to figure out the math to change the whole pattern. I did get it figured out and it ended up being one of my favourite quilts.
