I am using Electric Quilt for my blocks. So I just added some lines. Then I printed out the full block, with light colorss showing on a sheet of label paper, added registration marks and sewed. I am stitching all of my blocks by hand. Attached is the Golden Gate Modified pattern as a single sheet and as templates.
Blocks 2 and 3 are completed using the Kaffe fabrics and colour wheel for fabric selections. This is a new way to make a quilt for me! I am hoping to gain more knowledge and confidence in colour selection.

I'm offering one suggestion to match up our seams carefully. After pinning the pieces together, I set my stitch length to a basting stitch and take 4-5 stitches across the 'matching point' that is most critical for lining up. I don't have the fancy pins Alex uses, by the way. Then I check the open seam on the right side to see how accurate it is. Then I go back to the regular length stitch and sew the seam fully. If I do the basting stitch a bit inside the seam allowance, I can then remove those stitches quickly and press the seam (I do mine open). I find this saves me time and gives me reassurance that the points/lines are accurate. We all know in quilting that we each find ways that work for us. I'm just offering this as an option. Good luck everyone!

has anyone tried to piece the millstone block? I think the directions are missing something, border triangle don't match up for me and I have cut it out twice
