Those bright Fat Quarters!

What are you most proud of?

It was fun to make the half square triangles this way, I had never seen this technique before! Bias edges are a little tricky, but my block came out perfectly.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Sew and press carefully, the blocks want to stretch, but you still need to get your seams pressed nice and flat!
