QNS, those blocks are outstanding! I love the patriotic colors, so fitting for the pattern. Awesome job!

A hint for any new paper piecers: it's handy to have the measurements for each section to cut your fabric but I've found it important to add at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch all around her measurements. I pp all the time (not a pro, but I've done lots) and I was coming up short especially on the large outside triangles. Hope this helps someone and eases any frustrations you may have.

Just the ones we do each month at the end of the month, not the whole collection....that way, the whole quilt will really WOW us when we are done! It will wow me too if I finish as well as the first month's start! Love everyone's colors and blocks, so much creativity and talented group you all are! You deserve an extra pat on the back for excellent work.
