I think it turned out okay considering that each block turned out slightly different size. Most are right in that this is not a block for a beginner. I'm not a beginner and it was a bit difficult for me.

Your block looks great. I am a little confused tho why each block turned out slightly different size if you made copies of the pattern sent :? .

Anyway, looks great and thanks for your help,

Your block looks great. I am still working on mine, hope I will get it finished one day before long. Having lots of problems with my back and not able to sew much these days.

My printed pattern was off 1/16th on one side, so I tried to make very tiny adjustments. I also think that using plain copy paper is a bit too heavy leading to very bulky seams. Next time I'm going to use the light weight p/p paper or water soluable paper. I even starched before cutting & sewing. I'm happy though with the results, only a couple of points off a fraction. With all the other beautiful blocks you'll be making one or two very memorable quilts.
