I did "A Dandy" already, and am working on "A Beauty". I also did kind of what you did, but not using the freezer paper. I used the templates, and am sewing on the sewing line, it seems to be working well, but the corners do not look quite as good as the ones posted here!!! My sewing machine was not sounding happy, so I took it in for a good cleaning (electronic so you can only clean in the bobbin area yourself). Not sure when I will get it back, but turn around is suppose to be pretty quick (I hope). I have another machine I use for quilting, but don't want to piece what I started on the other one.
I'm so sorry that your sewing machine is acting up. I bet you'll be caught up very quickly.
Sewing on the sewing line does seem to be very accurate.

Yes, I usually just use my 1/4" foot which is accurate if I move my needle to the right 1 click! A Dandy came out perfect that way. This one is taking a lot more time. I found out, like some of the others, that fussy cutting for this size block does use A LOT more fabric! Guess I'm going to be on the lookout for more pony fabric. I probably should have bought larger pieces when I saw them. I was thinking of the FWS quilt smaller pieces!

I made my first block before Christmas and like you did a double take when I saw your first block I purchased a Fat Quarter Bundle of this entire range, did you do that too?
It will be so much fun to see how our blocks turn out each week, I am also adding fabric from my stash that hopefully will complement what I have.
