Maybe if more people quilted, these lessons would be learned more easily.<br /><br />Good for you for doing the hard work of fixing your blocks. It reminds me why I shy away from complicated piecing, but your lovely blocks are truly tempting.Barbara Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068430978341114058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20933408.post-10576175494876891352009-12-05T05:26:30.221-06:002009-12-05T05:26:30.221-06:00Amazing how easy it is to make the simplest of mis...Amazing how easy it is to make the simplest of mistakes that cause us so much grief! The block is lovely, looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!

And I don't always have the patience to correct the problem (laughing). This might explain why I gravitate more toward applique projects, though I did have many years with many projects that were pieced. And I still can never get completely away from having to piece. I can't tell you how many times I've lied to myself and said that I can press it out or quilt it out when the piecing of a block didn't jive!

Don't tell anyone but I think that might be <i>sorta like</i> drafting my own pattern. In a way. And don't tell anyone but I just don't didn't watch the speech.

How many times have I ripped apart a block where the point was clearly going to be blunted? Or I sewed something backwards? Honestly, it isn't perfection that I am after, just something that doesn't look like that 5 year old did it! LOL!Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.com
