Lesson 4 of the Perfect Points Sampler was fairly easy for me since I completed an entire Hidden Stars Quilt of Ohio Star blocks. I think I'm definitely getting better at half-square triangles now!
The Pinwheel blocks were my best work so far and I had no problems with them! Even the back seams swirled the way they were supposed to.
By this point I got caught up to the rest of the group (since I started the quilt-along late waiting for my fabric to arrive). Lesson Five ended the project with some paper piecing. The LeMoyne Star 4 was fun to make and this was my first time using paper piecing. It all went perfectly, and I got such lovely points, until I had to sew the 2 halves together. Things got a bit wonky then but I just accepted my work as done.
The Basket Block was the last square to make. It was pretty simple but looks complicated. I almost had it perfect until the top of the 'leaves' didn't quite line up.
So that's my progress on the Perfect Points Sampler. Next week I'll share the completed quilt top.
