Gretchen Block

I thought some of the other blocks were tough, I must of been kidding myself. The Gretchen block is a tough cookie. I tend to look at squares when assembling a block, but this one you need to do as triangles. First sew the strip, add the triangle ( you now have a bigger triangle ), and then sew the triangles together to form four squares. Whoo, but watch out for your center pinwheel. I did have to rip out some seams and I kept going back to my design board to help keep things in order. All in all finished, not perfect, but done. :-D
