I hope you don't mind me asking for tips on how to do the scrappy corners. I use this method to make snowball blocks. No matter how careful I am to mark the diagonal line and sew on it, the corner pieces are sometimes' off '--a bit too small or a bit too big.. Do you have any tricks for making sure they are accurate? Hope I explained it clearly enough.

I am very careful when marking the line, making sure it is straight and from corner to corner. And then I pin it, making sure the tops and the corners are just right on. And then I go slow , making sure I stay on the line. Sometimes I still have one turn out wrong, and instead of trying to fix it, I lay it aside and start all over. If it turns out too big you can trim.
I love getting those corners wright, but sometimes it just don't work out that way. Do try pinning, I am a big believer in pinning and making sure my material can't slip.

Glad you like it! thanks! :D :D
