I was having a hard time putting the blocks together too. I decided to not worry so much about the points matching and the chevrons. I started using my walking foot and it's a lot easier. Some points are still not matching and the chevrons are not matching up perfectly with the orange triangles but I'm just going with it. Seems like it looks pretty good when the blocks are put in rows. For this mystery quilt I had to put "perfectionalism" aside and just enjoy the experience!
