With the sew around method we are working with mostly bias edges that will stretch. The starch helps prevent stretching.

Those are lovely, both the colors and the workmanship.
I have a hard enough time matching up 4 points, I don't need 8!
Good work! It's going to be lovely.

I know I'm late (unfortunately it's getting to be all too common with me) but I'm going to join in here too. It's ok if it's not 'official' but a great project with a doable goal! Pinwheels here I come!

I too have started on my blocks. I have made 26 hour glasses using the X system. Right now 20 of them are in blocks just waiting to be blocked and sewn together. I will finish my starry nights miniture before starting the next one. This mini was fun. Will attempt to post a picture after I have finish it. K
