I made a block yesterday - while watching the video - and wrote down the directions as I went along - am not sure if I am allowed to post what I did or not - I would be delighted to share my notes if it is ok.

I made a couple of the blocks this evening and I can't seem to get my points to match, one did, one didn't. Also, I seemed to have a problem with getting the length of each of the 9 blocks to match each other. They seem to be a little less than 1/4 inch off (at least on a couple of them). I am a fairly new quilter and not done many blocks. I am sure this is all operator error so I guess I just need to practice some more!!

This block has a lot of bias edges. Perhaps the answer is the spray starch that has been suggested. Try this and see if it helps.

W7sue, I would like to see your notes. I cannot see a problem w/you sharing same with us. Of course, this is me talking and not the admin. Please try. If removed, please PM me and others who ask. Thanks.

Suz,
How do you download the pattern?

Suz, I wonder if you have to be a member and signed in before you can download the instructions? I tried what you suggested but it did not work.

I just finished my block, it was very easy to make. However there's too much bias and it stretches unless sewed very carefully. I think if I were to make a quilt, I'd make it like a regular churn dash block and make a small pinwheel for the center square.
