Animal: Bumble Bee Star (#2)

NFS

Susannah Thomson is the designer and her tutorial is available throuh her Etsy shop ZannahMakes at: https://www.etsy.com/listing/642936988/3d-peyote-star-warped-square-bumble-bee?ref=shop_home_active_4&crt=1

The original pattern had the bees flying out and I modified by having one side with the bees flying in as well as having a contrasting color for the herringbone (edge of star and the strips leading to the center). I also embellished it with shanked buttons.
