Hi Dotty,

Looks much better. There are still a couple of uneven edges....I can't tell why.

Ah, I see. That's where you haven't yet added the extra pieces to the 3 patch.
Got it.

So this was a practice one before you do the big one?
Excellent.

Did you cut all the patches yet for the new quilt?
Because I'd really like to share with you MY method for cutting - it's much easier than using templates, and provides more consistency among the cut pieces.
Also the method for sewing together the blocks.

See the green circles in the pict below....those seams are off a bit, as they're not creating the Pine Bark pattern (the Japanese name for this motif).



I'm sure your relieved you got it sewn together.
(Me, too!)

I'm not going to write up the instructions right now if you've already cut the pieces - let me know.
But before you start sewing (and now that your camera works), we should chat here again.

Running out to Joann's - great sale, but I'll be back by mid-morning here.
