Thank you all for the support, on to Week 10, with the first few weeks still "in waiting," I will get them done at some point. Its only the first five weeks of blocks, oh my...these were kind of hard! Its so rewarding when they are done.
Yes! Sandpat our blocks are almost "twinkies" :) with the same red star fabric and the background is so close they almost match completely.
I will say, I do remove all the paper if they were PP and I iron my blocks until they behave and lay flat! That usually means steam and spray water on both sides. However, they are not perfect, but I am happy with them.
