Tiffany, your block is so professional. I know what you mean about how important it is to watch how the end of the block goes off. It tends to drift off line and you have less seam allowance than at the beginning and middle of the block. I've been using a point thingy to hold the end of my block and keep it straight. I've also been more careful about keeping my seams at 1/4 inch and noticed on the quilt top I completed yesterday that my intersections meet far better now. I completed the whole top without having to use my seam ripper at all!!!!! I've made several that I ripped out as much as I sewed. LOL! I guess if I keep at this for the rest of my life I might one day have really good results. In the meantime, I enjoy my quilts and those who've received them have been appreciative. Perfection will not be realized in this lifetime. But the production of colorful and useful and (to me) beautiful quilts is quite satisfying. Thanks for sharing your delightful block. Linda
