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 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.

With all the other beautiful blocks you'll be making one or two very memorable quilts.
