Block #18
Everyone is on their own for this block. I tried paper piecing it the way EQ7 printed it out and I didn't like the way
the seams were layered. They were too bunched up and too thick so I think the best way to do this block is the way
it's pictured in the book. I will use freezer paper for the templates to keep the bias sides from stretching. Maybe sewing
just to the pointed ends and then fixing and leave the remaing 1/4" end of the seam allowance open the way you do
when hand piecing. If anyone has a better way of doing it--please let all of us know. Anne
