I finished my first foundation-pieced quilt square yesterday:
I like it! It came out pretty well, with nice sharp points. Compositionally, I think it’s sound – I’m on the fence about the first fuchsia log, which stands out pretty sharply – but it also adds drama, which I think is important for this block. Aside from the fuchsia it’s all closely related, medium to light value colors, which isn’t as exciting as I would like.
Today I’m going to work on another quilt square, though that will probably have to wait until Mike gets up, as my sewing machine is fairly noisy. I think this one will be “Snail’s Trail”, but I might do “Dutchman’s Puzzle” instead.

The fuchsia will add a nice zing to your block.
