Thank you! :D
Are they tricky? Hm, dunno. I'm not much of a traditional patchwork quilter (although have been a sewer for many years) and have little to no experience piecing blocks. Someone else is probably better equipped to answer this!
I foundation pieced the blocks (with freezer paper), to make sure I'd get all the points and have blocks that are all the same size. It worked well for me! but it takes more time than conventional piecing.
