Judy, I think your block looks fine - don't redo it straight away, because a lot of the Jane Stickle people did that, and in the grand scheme of things, the little areas that niggled seemed to disappear and get lost amongst all the other blocks.
As for having cleavage in the wrong place Patti, (sounds painful), I start at the point of a heart, work up to where the curve starts, then fold the whole of the top down so that I can see where the cleavage should end up. If necessary, I clip to that point, then resume needleturning across the top of the first curve. I hope that helps.
Some of the thread options are looking really nice. I have just finished skein no. 3 after 14 blocks. Since I am using two strands, and I think I am right in saying the skeins are 6 yards long (x3= 18 yards) 18 yards per skein, and I have used three skeins, = a total of 54 yards used so far. That should give you all an idea of how much to buy/order.
