EPP is pretty straight-forward, but every now and then, you have to figure out the order of how to assemble the little pieces. The blocks for Valse Brillante have a center hexagon, and two different blades. If you look closely, you can see that the bottoms of the blades are angled. These are my home-made templates. You can see the angles very well.
These two pictures show 2 ways I can sew the blades together. The top one has the blades joined so that they form a solid line to match up with the hexie. The second pic shows another way to join them so that they match up with the corners of the hexie.
I use the top method just because it's easier to join with the center. What I do is join 2 blades together, and then attach each pair to the hexie.
Basically, I go around in a circle attaching the blade pairs. In this pic, the blades now have to be joined together.
And here is the finished block.
And another one:

love the colors you are using
I think I would attach them the way you do as well - to the flat side of the hexie. Looking good!!!
