Final Notes:
- With right side down, spray a light mist of Starch. Cover with a piece
of fabric and lightly iron. Uncover and block motif until it dries
completely.
- When weaving in Butter/Color 2 ends, I thread the ends through the
front of the SC sts to create more definition on the points of the moon.
