Everyone's blocks are looking fanstatic! I finished Block 1 this morning. I had 4 of Block 0 practically done when I realized I had used GoogleChrome as my browser when printing out the blocks and it printed them smaller so the finished size would not have matched the blocks I had already sewn, URGH all that fabric wasted.

Tip: For curved pieces. I sew along the seam line. Then I rip the paper out from the seam line area leaving the majority of the paper on the block. I snip along the curved pieces to allow for curving the seam. I also smash the paper down if it's bugging me. I also use LOTS of pins. I may have pictures of this at home I will try and post them tonight.

Here are my Block 1's
