I'm trying out the first block and good thing I did. I based it on 4" finished size for the small blocks but I'm using a Cappuccino Balipop and, like I've read here, the consistency of the cut strips is not good. I did the first 4-patch block and found that it is not even close to being 4 1/2" unfinished size so, I adjusted everything to 4" unfinished. The small flying geese and the large triangle block are paper pieced.

Just love seeing the block come together for the first time.
