So I creased my background square in quarters, and was trying to center the leaves for block 9, and it just seemed that there is a bit more space in between my leaves than the book, it took me a while to get them to point in the right angle and orientation...and I am still not sure that they are as symmetrical as they should be, but I guess with the embroidery it may hide some of the imperfections. It took me almost three hours without the embroidery to do block 9 by machine,lol, it may have taken me a month to do it by hand:mrgreen:
