Cindy - great blocks! thanks for posting again
I thought I would post another block [since the neurontin seems to be taking care of the pain!!!] I actually even have a little tutorial for those who may now... or eventually want some help on block M-1. If you look at M-1 you will notice that the white triangle points in the sketch don't exactly match up to the white squares. I reworked it just a little and my triangles did line up [almost] with the squares. I thought erring on the outside like a cap was preferred for me. First I measured everything in the sketch .... the inner squares finish 5/8" so need to be cut 1 1/8" - I cut a couple of long strips - 4 white squares requires at least 4 1/2" [cut it 5+] and cut the green/print 1 1/2" longer x 1 1/8" wide. Sew strips together. Then cut four sections 1 1/8" wide[ATTACH=CONFIG]464543[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]464544[/ATTACH] arrange the sections as shown[ATTACH=CONFIG]464545[/ATTACH] add 5th green section to the white part of one section and complete the center 9-patch.
