This time, I decided to use a fabric with a lengthwise stripe centered in each quarter of the block. This would result in bias edges on the corners, so I used EQ to print four paper piecing units.
No worrying about measurements, and now the block is basted to paper, where it will remain for this next year while the rest of the blocks are being made. The paper will keep the bias on the outside edges from stretching the many times this block will be moved and handled.

: 0 ) Makes me think of water swirling down the drain! Lots of movement in that fabric!
This was a great fabric choice Cheryl. Those diagonal pieces are a big splash of fabric so you need some interesting fabric pattern in that position.
The fabric works so well in this block! The pattern on the fabric comes together in the center and adds to the fun of this block.
