Beautiful blocks Emma S!!

Very nice, Emma! No, I don't think the direction of the pinwheel is going to change the design. I'll have to check mine - good chance mine are other direction, too! I put a bunch of one of the clues together backwards and had to reverse sew quite a bit (the error on that one DID make a difference!).

I just saw on the blog that she's giving us a few weeks off and we'll have time to catch up and put blocks together. So, I guess no more clues but we can just keep working.

Emma I agree that it won't make a difference what direction your pinwheels are spinning...just as long as they spin the same.
CindyA I too am glad she is giving a couple of weeks for quilt construction...of course there will be those eager beavers who will have the quilt quilted by then and some who haven't even started. I am going to have to slow down with the construction as I have a new GrD due in Feb and need to get a quilt made and to the quilter's soon. I will try and do a few blocks in between the baby quilt steps but it is a twist and turn so hopefully it will go together quickly and then I can get back to it again.
I currently have 8 blocks assembled and 4 more laid out ready to piece. I will take a picture when it gets more light outside.

Got all the blocks together - it's pretty on my personal quilt, but in the very stark contrast, I do NOT like the 2nd block. Oh well, it's been fun :)

What, it's only 9 patches, it's easy to sew together.

I used the Go and have all my block pieces cut and kitted up. It will be my sewing project at an April retreat I'm going to. I didn't think I'd like any of her patterns better then Double Delight but this may take it's place.

Is anyone else having a hard time getting all the points and seams to match when putting the blocks together? I don't normally have a problem with everything matching up, but I sure am with this quilt. I'm only just now happy with the first two blocks I put together and took apart and re-put together a few times. I think putting the whole top together will be a long, tedious project for me.

Yes, especially those darn cheverons!!!! I put mine aside because for now I figured it would be tedious also in getting it together for the same reason. It was driving me nuts so I figured oh well I give up do the best I can and go with it. Bonnie's is not perfect so if hers isn't then neither will mine ;)

I agree that the chevrons are the hardest. I decided to put a few of the stars together for now and worry about the chevrons another day.

The tri peak blocks were the hardest for me to square up and then not lose the points. I know that it's as much the cutting as it is the sewing and pressing. Next time I'll consider using Lingo. I still love the quilt. The two blocks together make such a neat pattern.
