Next add the Dk green triangle, no partial seam for this one, sew it to the center square and the red triangle. Same with the lt green and brown patches. Then finish the red seam.

I was looking at the pieces I printed out and was a little bit confused because I've never had any experience with partial seams but I'm going to give it a try. This is so helpful...Thanks so much!

Hi Barb,
I also drew the block in EQ7 and was able to change the size of the block and print as a foundation block. If you go to options in the print section, uncheck the block for Separate Units, you will then get the block as a foundation block for piecing. Hope this helps.
