Thank you Teen for the explanation and pictures. I didn't know you can clip the dog ears off, that's what bothered me the most. I can practice a bit more as I have to make 25 teardrop shapes. I did use the shiny side up when tracing the pattern. That's what I saw in the youtube video.
Haha, the Green Monster. The inside blocks are 6" finished. I really like the idea, I just don't like the green colour! It's so.......green!
