Well, I did finish both this weekend, but I'm really not liking how my april turned out at all, and I mixed up the placement of some of the colors on the little checkerboards. Rosy, I agree, the fact that it's not symmetrical is weird to me. I'm gonna take another crack at it and hope it comes together a little better, if not, well, time to move on.
But, I figured since Aunt is so easy this week, taking a bit of extra time to try April again.

In am working on April this morning and like I said before it didn't make sense to me. I need to see something ( I don't know lol) I pulled it into EQ and made a few changes, now it makes sense to me. What do you think...Just add a few lines.

You know, sometimes I think when the book goes to the printer it makes a mistake on some of the graphics. I don't have a lot of experience with EQ but I love that I can do a few things in it. I just learned what I need to learn lol. I learned how to erase a line and how to add one and how to export a block and how to color it so I can see how it will look.
Also, I love my block base. I find the block in there first, then open it in EQ and print the size I want. I just love to make the bigger blocks, 10 inch blocks for this quilt. I like the look of the smaller blocks but can only do so many before I tear my hair out lol.

LOL where because I was thinking of making this block with 1" cuts for the 9P's...The 9P's do not use the same fabrics in all the corners...when you put it on point you see a new angle which I really like.

I generally press to one side unless I have a lot of seams meeting in the middle of something like a pinwheel, then I press the seams open. I always press as I sew each seam. When I'm paperpiecing, I keep an iron on a covered TV tray right next to me.
