Eight-point snowflake

I have a lot of catching up to do, starting with a Ringo Pie block for Anna.  She wanted snowflake blocks with linen background and lots of white.  I used Eight Point Snowflake from 163 Patterns, I also found a free pattern here  which is constructed in the same way.
 The centre star is pieced first and then the border pieces are added with Y seams.  It is a precision piecing exercise.
 I had another block due for a friend and I fancied seeing the same block in other colours and this is what I came up with.
 More of a Spring snowflake and as we have been forecast chilly weather here until the end of April it feels most apt!
