You guys are all so sweet and it's good to hear about that drated RS6. Boy, it tested you but it all came out in the wash.
Lace, you have done that many? Good for you! I was ahead until week 7 and there are 2 blocks I don't know where to start so I won't. F9 and G11 and I4.

I must be honest...I hate the way I3 turned out...those circles just look plain weird.
RS6 is a challenge - I urge everyone to go to the Cutebuns tutorial on y-seams, and Lacelady's tutorial on inset seams. They are extremely helpful. My RS6 came out...good enough...but still far from perfect!! I hope we all are able to share tips of how we were able to achieve what we did. I will say for me the key was taking my time, not being impatient, and just going at it ever so slowly. I had the tutes up on the computer and just went back and forth with them.
For E2, I chose to use freezer paper applique. I pretty much followed the technique from "thatquilts" blog.
And same with D2. I did 'needleturn' applique and it worked like a charm! There are so many little curves and points. I just put the freezer paper on the right side of the print fabric, and turned under as I went along. They say "needle" turn, but I found I mostly used my fingernails!
And for those of you who haven't seen it yet, we have started a "virtual section" for all these cyber sew items. So you can go there and find the tutes I just referenced.

G11 sew the background blocks together like a nine patch, then the diamonds I appliqued on afterwards.
G13, I haven't done it yet, but I think I would tackle it with four curved seams on those central blocks, then sew together as per a nine patch.
I hope that helps you get back on with them.
