My goodness, what divine fabrics! I usually use a sharp 80 needle for piecing. It doesn't make as big of a hole as the 90.

Your first block is beautiful! Judging from your fabrics, your next blocks will be also.

This little book has served me well over the years, maybe it will help you, too.
It's available right now on Amazon, used, for $0.48! Resist the ridiculous spiral-bound one for $196.00. (WHAT is that all about??!!) You can take it to any large copy shop and they will remove the spine and spiral it for you.

Love your block, your fabrics , and that pattern. Very lively! Definitely use starch. A little wrinkle here and there will add up to measurements being off. Congrats to your family!
