Anyone out there tearing out their hair like I was, trying to do the pressing? I decided BH's pressing was making me crazy so am doing my own way. I am assembling the strips of a block, for example making 16 strips of the center strip that has tri rec, QST, and neutral 4 patch. The other rows, making 32 of each. This way I can assemble the blocks without worrying about which direction it goes. And can make sure I have all different fabrics in the block. I will press the top, middle and bottom seams to the left, the other 2 press to the right. and then with the final piece with the red, I can get that pressed to the right and all will go together, only changing poressing will be on the verticle strips with the red.

And yesterday someone posted that the blocks needed to be viewed from a distance, and when I did that, it looks better. LOL Maybe I will finish this after all.
