The question I have is that when I looked at the foundation piecing of it, it looked like a nightmare to get together. How are you putting yours together?
Thank you Linda. Yes, I like how it looks too. I also noticed the piecing nastiness for the foundation piecing! I have not done the actual printing of the block yet for foundation piecing but when I saw how difficult it looked I was wondering if Nancy's view (post #218) of making triangles would simplify the construction? I might do a "file > print > Block" rather than "file > print > Foundation Pattern" and then cut the block up myself into 8 triangles like Nancy showed and then the 4 triangle corners; that might be easier for me. Let me know how yours goes since I'm sure you'll be stitching before I am!
