you are doing great. they are kinda hard and depending on your printer they could be off just a hair on the printing. I have done two of these blocks and they are not perfect also but that is okay.
here is a link to the one that I am working on now. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-151323-1.htm

I'm with the others -- you picked an intermediate pattern. But I LOVE the pattern and LOVE your choice of fabrics! It should be beautiful!
1) --slow down -- go slow and yes, have the alignment checked
2) -- always leave all the paper on until you have the whole quilt made. :) it helps keep it from warping.
3) -- Accept the fact that you're going to take stitches out -- at least once per block :)
4) -- don't give up --- you're doing GREAT!

I think it looks great. But I will tell you, even though I love things to be made fast, I was tired of my pp coming out wonky too. So, I started doing it by hand sewing. Especially when there are loads of small pieces that don't seem to me worth sewing on the machine. I love doing it by hand now. Everything has come out more accurate and I am actually enjoying the quiet time sitting in front of the tv with dh! Normally I have to spend house in my art room while sewing!
For everything else, it's still the machine for me!
