Thanks all! As far as the main arc with the points, they are paper- pieced...the part I had the toughest time with was squaring up the arc block after all the different curved arcs were put on...I even added 1/4" to the straight ends of each arc so I would have "extra room" if needed...but even with that it seemed that the next to last outer arc part (the thin one) and the paper-pieced arcs came up short...so, if anyone has any suggestions, please bring them on!! I have made New York beauty blocks in the past, there is a version of one in the upper corner of the sampler quilt in my avatar pic..but I didn't have the trouble I had with these...the other squares are pinwheels, which weren't bad to make at all...but after 120 of them I was ready to be done with them!!! LOL...
Regards all,
