I made one just find, since I kept trying to make them at the same time, and then would have to rip out 18 blocks. I decided that I would finish one block and then go from there. Did the one, decided it was not that hard so I would continue on and sure enough sewed the next seem on 17 blocks wrong. I want to scrap the whole thing and start over. I still need more fabric no matter what I decide to do. But now I have all this material cut into strips of different leanghts and will have to figure out what block I could do with them. Thanks for letting me vent. Think I will let it go for one more day and then decide what I am going to do. Will post pics later.
I would make a "master " of each block on paper, then copy them on the copier to paper-piecing paper, and paper piece the blocks. It might take longer to take out the paper, but all the pieces would be accurate.
