    Default Am I making this harder than it is?

    I'm making a pattern that is essentially a snowball. So, I have two dramas...

    1. Sewing the diagonal. I carefully marked each,lined up my corners, and carefully sewed down the line, but half of them still come out weird. Why? I mean, I can even see the stitching settled on my line and I'm still getting catywompus corners...ACK!!

    2. The snowballs actually turn into flowers, so one corner has a color. Then there is a sashing between the petals that finishes up the flower centers. I'm having a heckuva time lining this up. Is there a trick? (Photo A shows a completed flower, Photo B is a closeup of unmatched seams I've redone about 6 times...)

    Clearly I should not play with triangles...
