Jupiter - now that you have done both 12 and 6 inch blocks, is the larger size easier to work with using the templates or not?
Here's my block for this week.

The foundation for this block was just a 6-1/2 square. I fussy cut to centre the flower. My focus fabric is Jinny Beyer's Sofia range plus a mix of whatever golds I have in my stash.

The size really doesn't make much difference in how hard or how well the blocks turn out. As I said before, the 12" blocks leave a lot of excess fabric in the layers but can be trimmed out and used for another project. The 6" blocks look like you worked harder because all that 'stuff' is in a smaller area, and so looks harder to do. In fact, it is not.
