I'm home now for awhile not more trips until after Christmas...
Thanks Jeanie for all your help...At first I was a little confused with the "4 patch center" I had to look at it a couple of time to understand what Bonnie meant. what this technique creates is 4 seams going in the same direction (pinwheel) so that when they are joined later on there won't be any twisting...they will nest (bump Up) against each other .. I will be working on step 3 tomorrow using the 4 patch way mentioned here...I really appreciate all the new ways to do a step...especially since someone else worked out the kinks!!!
