    I too have trouble with points on stars, flying geese and all those lovely patterns. I keep trying, telling myself "One day" I jsut hoep one day shows up so I can quit obsessing over points :lol:

    I'd be willing to wager on the fact that their points get dull every now and then... Everyone's do once in a while... well, everyone except Tim, but that's only because he just prints his pre-pieced blocks onto fabric sheets then joins those with glue & silly-puddy... :lol:

    I'd like to see some of their first attempts... :shock: I'm sure they didn't receive too many awards in the beginning. Don't fret Feathers... I looked at your block while riding by on a galloping horse & saw no mistakes!!! :lol: (It really is beautiful!!)

    Oh! Good, Carla. I'm glad you didn't see anything too glaring. If you are referring to my Cardinal block I know there are mistakes that show but the bird doesn't care! :lol: Feathers

    Hello,

    Here is my photo of the Pinwheel block. Now I am off to do the cabbage rose and star. Hope they don't take me too long. I love these blocks and am enjoying this site.

    Thanks for looking at my pics, Ann :P
