Looks very confusing to me. I think I shall try though. The best part is throwing out the one that didn't work and going to another method and have it work. I wouldn't have done this in the past. I would have simply thown it in the corner and given up; too hard for me. Now I want to finish the block no matter what so I can post it :lol:
Great work everyone! Our blocks are beautiful!! We rock!! (as my grandson would say)

Well actually, block number 4 ended up being part of the new block. Because even though I cut the strips to 14 inches, I still came up a smidge short! I knew I should have made it 15 inches :lol: But I promise, the next block that goes hinky on me, its yours!

Darcene, If you truly want to be a slacker in good standing you're not even supposed to begin thoughts of blocks 5 & 6 until the week blocks 7 & 8 are posted. So at this point you're just a "Wanna Be Petitioner" :P :P :P regards,

Darcene, I am with you. As a matter of fact, I must redo my block 3 and haven't done it yet! Let alone block 5 and 6!
So, I petition the court to allow me back in good standing with the esteemed slackers of the board?
