Ok, for us other block newbies, what do we need to know about "scant 1/4" seam etc."??

I think your block looks great and nice fabrics too!

I think you did a great job for your first block. The scant 1/4" will come with practice and so will the points. I've been quilting for over 25 years, and there are still times when I don't get my points quite right. Don't be so hard on yourself, you're doing great,you've taken the first step and that's usually the hardest.
