Thank you, one & all! I have had so much fun chosing the fabrics for each block. I did them all at one time. There are a few that calm everything down a bit. They are bagged with the blow-up of the pattern & all the freezer paper pieces along with the traced background. I baste a few as I go along. I really think the freezer paper is the reason the blocks look as good as they do. I don't have to rely on my skills to get smooth edges as the paper acts like a thin template for me. When I get to a peaky spot, I just use my needle to pull it into place & stitch it down.
