HI JeanieG, I was stumped by CR too and I'm certainly no expert but I used a suggestion from QuiltE. I paper pieced and started in the middle of the block. For those pesky 5 sided pieces on each side of the block I left the PP paper on so I would know where the seam line was and where to pivot. Leaving the paper on also helps to stabilize everything. Without that suggestion from QuiltE I don't think I could have done it. Hope this makes sense.
