Alrighty then! Here's my next two blocks. I swear I was so close to quitting today. I have been paper piecing my blocks because I like the precision. But after doing #9, which wasn't difficult, just laborious I was not happy with the results---again. So today I tried #10. Between the fabric fraying out beyond the seam lines when I removed the freezer paper, I decided to do paperless foundation piecing. That was also just a nightmare that didn't give me any better results. I finally just cut the fabric from the templates. Much, much less headache, but blocks are still coming in 1/4" small. I use a scant 1/4" seam and have never had this problem.
I figure at least I'm being consistent, and I may have a slightly smaller quilt when I finish. What is 1/4" times how many rows across and down?
For better or worse, here they are.
#9 Box I love the colors on this one!

#10 The contrast didn't come out as good as I hoped
