Well, I made a second one and then the 12 inch one. I reduced all the seam allowances to a shade less than 1/4 inch and went back to the foot that has the edge guide. I also made the corner triangles bigger and trimmed down to size. Thankfully a lot better than the first one.
Then I started the four month 2 blocks. I am getting a real lesson in half square triangles. I start them at 3.5 instead of 3 3/8 inches and trim down. Worked very well. So I am on a roll. Every one of the blocks is going to be scrappy so it will certainly be different from the cover.
I found the pattern for $12 at a garage sale and they thought it only had 11 patterns. The missing one was under the cover photo so the pattern was complete.
