Thanks so much for the video, Veronica. I look forward to seeing them. Great save from the painstaking Y seams. I love the way you tackled this block. It turned out so pretty with the orange print. ❤

Thank you, Rita! Sometimes you just have to go with what makes the most sense for these blocks.

Well, I’m dreading this one! 😀 Thanks so much for the video, very helpful ❤️

Hi, Veronica. I came back to this video hoping to get some hints on the appliqued triangles. I'm piecing BMP's C-2, which is very similar but made with diamonds instead of triangles. I can easily applique circular or rounded fabrics down, but I want to do a good job first time appliqueing those sharp points. Maybe someday you can show us how to turn those sharp points? In the meantime, I'll do some more research and see what I can come up with. This block you made is so precise. Your applique is amazing. ❤❤❤

Oh, boy! Those sharp points are a pain! I'm still hit or miss when doing them. I will see about making a video just on point applique and will do my best, but there is a lot of fudging that happens, too. LOL

That would be so incredible! I did manage it, and the 3rd one turned out pretty good, but there's a lot of bulk and they look and feel more like the end of a Q-Tip than a good sharp appliqued point! Would it be okay to email you a pic? You can tell me if I need to do it over again.

You can e-mail any time! I'd be happy to help. :)
