Great video, thank you. For the block on point I would follow the instructions and match the triangles along the straight edge with the point overhanging as from the many videos I have watched this seems to be the consensus and then the block is trimmed to size. Hope this is ok…😊
Wonderful, lots of handy dandy tips in this one. Thank you for spotting the mistake, I was wondering instead of using the templates, we can do paper piecing. I really like doing them that way. Your thoughts?
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm guessing you're asking about the Circling Swallow block for paper piecing. I LOVE paper piecing which is why I switch several of the blocks in this quilt to it. That said, I think regular piecing by using the templates is best for this block simply because of that center where 8 fabrics come together. And pressing open the seams is really key to making that center point nice and flat - which is difficult to do with paper piecing. No quilt police here though. Do what works for you!
Thank you for your reply. I have read your response and after giving it thought. I will take your advice and use the template for the Circling Swallow block. Again, many thanks. @@myquiltlab5924
The block has incorrect instructions for the 1904 star. There are two parts of misinformation. I was able to figure it out. Maybe the creators could correct it.
I'm not sure if this pattern will be released outside of the BOM. And I've found other errors as well; I haven't received any response when I've forwarded them to Northcott, but I keep trying. And since this is 2023 BOM, I wouldn't be surprised if this pattern is shelved.

Sounds great! Thanks for watching!
Around 28:50 the pieces do need to be adjusted a bit.

Thank you for responding, I too found other errors.
