A bias about bias

In working on the latest clue from my guild mystery quilt project, I was faced with one of my nemesis - bias piecing!

This quilt is the colour theory quilt challenge I'm undertaking.  I have been excited to work with this fabric.  This block is done by cutting everything on the bias.  Can you say "STRETCH"?

It was very delicate work to avoid manipulating the fabric and deforming it. The challenge was to cut and assemble these blocks without using paper piecing as a stabilizer.   The use of my iron seemed to help.  That being said, I think I constructed and ripped and re-assembled every block at least twice, if not three times. 


I am so happy with the results and I'm ready to move on to the next month's clue.  Do you have an experience with bias and piecing that you care to share.
