I know I shouldn't do this but what the heck, I'm now a VIP chairperson --I like the Boneyfingers Title better than the Humpty Dumpty one. Anyway. I just Pm"d another member
with this and I had to share it with all of you.

Take a look at this block-----I worked on it off and on all evening. I have to do it over I was really tired yesterday,Had the grandchildren all day Tuesday. I measured and checked each quarter. They were coming up at 3- 1/2 inches. I said to myself ugg! I have to trim a 1/4 inch and now I have to worry about having enough seam for the points. So I started hacking away then put it all together. I measured again--OHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I did it and now I am soooooo(*&*%^%$%@) I have to do it over again! The block is 1/4 " short all around. I can't believe i did that. So my advice to you is don't put a rotary cutter in your hands when you are tired. Anne

Anne, I'm sorry the block gave you so much trouble, I wanted to tell you this, maybe it will make you feel better.
I do this on a regular basis, on a good day...Muriel

Is anyone using the templates from the farmer's wife blog? The ones that print each template for one block together on a page? I am, since I bought the kindle version of the book, and I know some people had found some errors with these templates, I just wanted to check and see if anybody else had found problems with blocks 1 and 2 before I started. :)

the grouped templates for blocks 1 & 2 are all the right size. :-)

I have finished blocks 1 and 2 and as soon as I have my DD or worse yet GD teach me how I will post them.

Oh No! I feel so bad for you. I just made that block and it was so much work. So much so that I don't want to even think about making the other blocks that are similiar it! If I were you I would try to put a border around it and then trim it to 6 1/2. I wouldn't be about to get a 1/4 inch border to look right, but maybe you could?

Honchey

No, no, no, I will be the only person in this WORLD to have a Bird's in the Air Pot Holder. I'm already halfway done with another one. I still can't believe I did that. I always telling everyone in my classes to measure and measure again before cutting. Oh Well, I do have a nice collection of Potholders. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Honchey, at least it looks nice, LOL!

I would be so happy that mine looked that good, that I would pretend it wasn't 1/4 inch short, LOL!
