I followed instructions exactly but I think I didn't cut my templates consistently. Some were inside the line and some outside. Other than that I think it went together quite well for the first try. I didn't use the fabric I had chosen for the project so will have to redo this block. My ink didn't run when I tested it but did when it had glue on it. I put my templates on backwards. Two mistakes to correct next time around. Hopefully it won't bleed then. I used the templates from the website, that saves a lot of copying. I think this will be a lot of fun:)
