I'm keeping in the back of my mind that I can always remake any block that turns into a disaster. this way you can just make the block and move on, even if you don't like it, because you have that week off period to revisit the blocks. i find that if you put some distance between you and the bad block, like a few weeks, you realize it isn't that bad and you don't feel the need to make it again. at least thats the way it is for me, i can't tell you how many quilts i've wanted to set on fire and then 2 months later i love them because the mistakes really weren't that bad. i know for sure DH has saved 3 quilts from the fireplace. |
I sent in a "bad" block for the swap (I asked to get it back) - and while it still wasn't a "masterpiece" - it really wasn't all that dreadful

Look very carefully at pictures of the original Jane quilt - the overall effect is eye-catching and beautiful -
Some of the individual blocks are a bit wonky. Some of them are very wonky. Some of them are in the "What were you thinking, Miss Jane?" category In some ways the irregularity of the blocks of the original makes for a more interesting quilt than some of the quilts made with "perfectly uniformly sized and perfectly made" blocks |

i'm starting to get really excited about this, and find that Christmas is almost a nuisance to be got through first, by the way over here Christmas is a massive holiday with everything stopping for at least 2 whole days, but most people having about a week off!
