Nice block Kim.
Kim Z: Not my favorite one
Kim, not my favorite either, but yours turned out fine. It looks Christmassy. I got mine half done tonight and haven't had problems yet. Since I am doing it by hand, the pinwheel and all angles seem to go together better. I don't think I would like to do it by machine. Trimming the corners might help alignment of the diagonals by machine. I have a corner-trimmer template for angles, but haven't used it yet. I have gotten better at estimating seam allowance corners on triangles. I don't stitch into the seam allowance by hand so don't have that hassle of picking back stitches to allow the seams to lay in the proper direction. I trim corners after stitching.
