I decided to do a little experiment with this pink block to see how much of a difference it makes to square up those half square triangles.
It's not too bad, but the green one is definitely better. It actually made a huge difference before I squared up the finished block. I suppose I'll be squaring up all of those pesky little half square triangles in the future.

Beautiful Blocks! I hate squaring up and cutting those ears off, but, sometimes its a must.
squaring is no fun but it always makes such a huge difference...these both look great though
I've given up on sewing the perfect 1/4", and instead make my half square triangles a smidge bigger, then trim them to size. Yes, trimming is a pain, but it makes such a difference in the finished block.
Just a question... are the pinwheels supposed to be going different directions?
