spaces on the star!!

I had a question from Jon, asking if I was going to fill in the spaces on my star. The pattern says not, but Jon has given me an idea, I will finish it as the vintage one, then decide. I was looking at the pattern today and it oroginally cost one shilling (Sterling) so my 5p at the jumble sale meant it was exactly the same price at least 39 years later!! I might just write to the Chancellor of the exchequer and cheer him up with the news that I have struck a blow for inflation
