I'm working on block 17 and I do not enjoy it. I'm just finished the smaller of the outer scrolls or leaves. My pieces were a little bigger and I did not have that much trouble with the points. I pinned the pieces in place with both points lined up on the background fabric. Somehow, the outer edges on two of them had gotten off by at least 1/2 inch and had to be redone. A real pain. And I have to cut other fabric for the bigger leaf. What I had doesn't look right. I need a lighter color to show up on my purple, not a dark rust. Other than this, I am good to go.
