I included fussy cutting w/ fpp, the fussy placement isn't perfect and many of my points are "off" but the over all look is good I think.

Beautiful block Kass! I'm curious about the difference in using freezer paper.

With freezer paper you don't sew through the paper, you use the iron to temporarily adhere the paper to the fabric, you fold the paper back on the sew lines and sew only the fabric then replace the paper re press it in place and move on to the next sew line. You can reuse the paper pattern many times. I re used these ones 16 times.
