I am sooo..... excited to see the next block. Bring it on countryquilter! :D :D :D

Ruth I Love applique also, but, hope you will keep trying with the piecing! it really is fun. Here's what you do. I'm assuming first off you are already sewing three strips with the block sections. I do down left side then center then right. Doesn't matter which order, But you must square off ea. finished section. They all so far have 9 sqs. within the block. I gotta tell ya I have yet to see one of mine come out without some uneven edges. Trimming the edges and making the like sections the same size and the sides that go together straight I have found is a major key to getting the four corners to agree. Then the pressing is important. I make sure they are pressed opposite of ea other. you can pin easier that way. Right between the seems. I spent so much time ripping on the last two frolic blocks, I think 1/2 of my time spent was ripping. :-D
