Notes for E12
this was the most annoying block of the week for me. i'm not to happy with the way mine turned out and will most likely make it again (regrouped) during our week off from block in February. its up on that quilt if you want to check it out.
1) Blunt the Corner on Unit C to make lining up the unit easier.
2) Sew the Center 4 Units (C & D and the 2 pieces between them) together to form the on-point squares with setting triangles.
3) Attach E & F to the center unit
4) Attach H & G to finish off the block.

E12 - an aside..............
when i redo E12, i'll try this regrouped pattern to see if it comes out any better.
1) Attach the 4 center Units to each other
2) Sew on the Short Sides Units E & F
3) Sew on Units G & H to finish the block
see notes on how to regroup in the DJ software here

Notes to G9
this block isn't that hard but be mindful of all the points. its up on that quilt if you want to check it out
1) Blunt the corner on Unit D to help with lining up the units
2) Attach Units D & E to Unit C
3) Attach Units F & G to Unit CDE that you just made
4) Attach Units A & B to finish off the block

Notes to H5
another fairly simple block but be mindful of the HST cornerstones.
1) Attach Units A & B to each other
2) Attach Units C & D to finish the block

Notes to BR11
this triangle looks harder than it really is.
1) Print as MIRROR & 5x8. If you are tracing from the book for paper piecing you should trace from the back or some how reverse the triangle.
2) Attach Units A & B to each other
3) Attach Unit C to the AB unit you just made
4) Attach Units E & G to each other
5) Attach Unit D to the EG unit you just made
6) Attach ABC Completed Section to the DEG completed Section.
7) Attach Unit F to the bottom to finish off the triangle.

You're a star! :-)
The blocks definitely look less scary when I see them in pieces ready to go together. I'm scrolling down thinking "yeah, I can do that", then it gets to the "finished" picture and I suddenly think "holy crap, that looks hard!"
So thank you for making this so easy for all of us! :-)

the only one to watch out for is E12 and those 4 little units in the center.
if you look i'm off on the bottom left point.
i re-stitched it 3 times (which is my cut off) and then said i'll come back to it on the "off" week if it still bothers me.

I'll hang my head in shame and admit it was nice to see a slightly less than perfect block! LOL
I like the "3 times" rule... I think sometimes even on easy piecing bits if it's just not working you can get into a hole and just need to take a break from it.

you'll see many less than perfect blocks from me over the next 14 months.
