Here is April's block. This is a MSQC tutorial. We will use bold colors (that means nothing pastel) with white background, Prefer solid background but if you don't have one, just use WOW. . I have no clue what the opposite of pastel is? I know this is an easy block as not only did I do a pretty good job, but this quilt was the first quilt for one of the ladies I have been quilting with in Vacaville. She did an excellant job with it. I was amazed as she had no quilting experience. This is a 16 inch finished block.

A few hints:

1. I think it lays flatter when you press the seams open, she tried it both ways and yes, open was better
2. Remember that precuts are not always exact. I used a Bella Solid by Moda and it is 10 inches one direction and 10.25 the other. Square up your precuts if you use them.
3. As always, please ask if you have questions

Do you press all the seams open, or just when you assemble the units?
