I especially like this paragraph of that link: As I said before, this swirling technique is not just for use with four or nine patch blocks. It is especially nice to do when you are matching more than four seams at a single point, like in a kaleidoscope block or a eight pointed star block.
Thank you thank you thank you ... I'm now going to try that ... and I still have 4.5 hours of free time left!!!!
This board is simply amazing!!!!
