    Yes, pinning on this kind of block would help line up your seams. Also pressing the seams in the proper directions so that your intersections lock into place. I am not good at explaining, but I am willing to bet you get a good explanation on pinning this from one of the others, soon. When you sew these together, if you have pressed one seam up on the one piece and on the other the seam down, they want to naturally nestle together, and that does help with alignment. Can't wait to see this in black and white :)

    That looks stunning Steve and a black and white would look equally dramatic. Looks like you've done a pretty good job of lining it up to me. the only people gonna look at any thing with a magnifying glass are the quilt police and their opinion don't count. Sounds like you are well and truly bit with the bug :P enjoy

    Great block! Whenever I have intersections to match up I pin....I've never gotten in the hang of pressing to one side...I press my seams open.

    Wish I could dream up such pretty blocks!

    Really nice work! Maybe its the spider web? I know it looks familiar, but not sure of the name. Looks really nice though.

    I know it's not the spider web, cause I'm working on one of those now, but still very nice work.
