Started sewing the first block last night. I still have a WHOLE lot of cutting to do but, I'll make this one first so that I find out any problem before doing all of them.
It's broken down into a 9 patch and all of the feathers are attached to the corner squares and side triangles first. There is a blue triangle sewed to each of the 4 corners of the center square (a snowball) and the other 4 blue triangles are sewn to one side of 4 star points.
I sewed a scant 1/4 on the feathers but when I went to sew it onto the square I found that my scant was too small, or too big, however you look at it. I sewed the seams in the feathers again closer to 1/4" and that fit good.
