Me Too Jan - am posting 39 to 42 today. Will get busy with #43 and #44.

You should now have one complete quarter of the block. repeat this 3 more times then sew the quarters together to get the finished block.

I hope this helps. I haven't started this block yet so I don't have any photos to show the steps yet. Anne

I have this block partially done. I am pp it. I diagramed it myself with a program. This is just to show how it is done without the "Y" seam/inset.

I finally figured out how to change things on these FMW blocks with EQ5 and did it on Block #43. So no more Yseams!....doing the happy dance here...... these two were fun to do. Here are my 3" ones in 30's. The 4" will be coming soon.
