Ibex, this is a stress-free zone. This, of course, from the woman who was freaking out over greys so consider the source. Anyway, the first thing to do is to relax and breathe, and then pick simpler blocks to make. We've got a lot of people on here who are very experienced and multi-talented and I love them to death although they sometimes set the bar pretty darn high. In order to maintain some degree of sanity, I usually just do my thing, simpler blocks, more traditional, and easier on my nerves. So please, just do what you are comfortable with, shoot for that 12 1/2 inch goal, and have fun! And if you want to discuss points, I'll "point" you to my blocks. There isn't one that has perfect points, I can assure you of that.

My son is moving back into my sewing room. I suspect that a trip to the fabric store will have to happen as I won't be able to access my wall of neatly organized boxes full of fabric. (They are so "well" organized that I can't figure out what happened to some fabrics I bought and washed specifically for BOOM, lol.) Quilt hugs to all of you.
