    Right now there is only one block that I would change, and it is the 4th from the bottom right and I would move it up to the other ones with the red centers in it, I love love love love it.

    And for the corner pieces that are just sitting there, you need half of what you are using for the others, so you can use the end pieces that you cut off, just make sure that you line them up so that they are on the right angle,

    So when they are all in place, (if you have a straight top and bottom) you get to start sewing them together. You can pic or not pic, I don't, for those that left the points on you can use them to help, and here is a tip to tell if you are close to your points, there is a little bit of a seam from the blocks showing for those that pressed open, and you are looking to sew directly over top of it,

    Thanks A lot CB. Should I switch the bottom corners. The right looks very pale by the black and white

    and if you hit it the right way, the seam looks like this, and the points look like this. (and no all of mine don't look that good)

    sewn over top of it

    If you switch the bottom two see what it would look like if you switched the top two as well, right now you have them opposite and I like the look, I think it may become unbalanced if you go both light on the same side.
