Managed to finish my first blocks.
Handy hints for those who don't know them:
1. Do not cut backwards if the rotary cutter doesn't cut cleanly. It will infallible cut out and trash the piece you are working on.
2. Follow the instructions, especially about which side you attach the pieces.
3. Do not iron the joins until you have checked them. It will make them harder to unpick.
4. Have sewing machine, cutting mat and ironing board all on the same floor of the house.
As you can see, I have learnt a lot already. Always ready to save you the journey!
