I'm curious how many of you made the "crossroads" block. Did you follow the directions that Eleanor had or did you use a quicker method? I did it the quicker method (where I sewed 3 or 4 red & white strips together and then I cut them at 2 1/2" strips). (Later when I was finished with the block, I turned the block on point and cut the sides. The sides came out great and I added the two corner triangles that were not a part of the strips.
(This is something like the 4 square speed piecing example at:

It went together but I'm not happy with some of my points.
I thought about redoing it using Eleanor's directions but it seems to me that the more pieces you have to put together, the more chances you have to get the points off.
Please give me comments on how you made your block and how well the points went with doing it that way.
