i suffer from PMS too so i know what you're going thru - i get a migraine for 4 days.
its good that you use the same paper as me, i go thru about 800 sheets a year so i'm sure i can figure out where it went wrong and tell you how to solve the problem so it won't happen again.

Migraines totally suck... The longest I've had one is 3 days and I thought I was going to die.. and "off everyone around me.. they would just whisper and my head would pound.. the visions or aurora's that I get just come when I'm least expecting..

I did pick at them some more...so they wouldn't be to bad, but still in places..the paper just wanted to hang on...

i've rec'd your 2 sets for the blue/white swap and they look beautiful.
i've figured out what happened with the paper piecing of the H4 "eye" block - its a very common problem that people have when they first start paper piecing.
i'll try to explain it in words and when we start the cyber block party i'll prepare a tute.
in this example you had 4 sections that had to be sew to each other and in those cases you should remove the paper from the seams before joining to each other - this way paper doesn't get trapped behind or in a seam.
so you would make the 4 sections as normal, then you join 2 of those to each other, and then finally you would join those 2 sides together to join the block.
so once you've sewn the 4 sections into 2 sections you would pull off the paper from the joining seam, then join the 2 sections to each other to form the entire block.
at this point the block is finished and all paper in the seams is already taken out so nothing gets trapped behind a seam.
i'll post finished pics of H4 that i've done and maybe that will show what i'm talking about and the next time i do a block like this i'll take pics the entire way so you can see step by step.
