Thanks so much. What I decided to do was sew over it and then cut the wrong peice away, it worked pretty well. The block is now square with at least the possiblity of not losing the points when it is sewn together. It is not even nor is it perfect. But when I look at it up on the wall I like it.

I am going to try this block again and reduce the pattern by 2%.

The original pattern was not perfectly accurate, I drew it into transfer paper, and may have made some slight errors.

My seam allowances are not right. My machine is old and when there is a lot of fabric, it pushes the needle off a bit. It is a pain, but I'll try to re-do it more [or wait until Mom is here with her machine] :thumbup:

When I sewed the white to the orange, the white wrinkled. I guess I need to use starch, but it irritates my skin.

Be sure to block it. Here is a link to Sharon Schamber's video on how to true a block:

I really like your block design! Is this a paper piece if so what is it called?

It is a beautiful block. Looks like you did a pretty good job of getting it fixed.

I don't know what it is called, I drew it on Quilt Assitant in order to not have to "set in" any blocks. Of course I had to anyway in order to fix it.

I like your block and the colors of it.


What is the name of this block.
