They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I have pp, pinned, did templates and marked seams, even tried Anne's wonderful rotary cutting...but my one eye keeps "tricking me". Its like sitting a full glass of milk on the table, and seeing it fall to the floor...the latest, third try...

Maybe I will try, try again. Going back through all my blocks and arranging, changing now I can see the whole picture...and my goal of getting the block to say its name, if I can. Therefore, number fourteen, first in the block arrangement has changed. See if you like the second one the best...I think I do.

I agree-I don't think you're off by that much. OMG some of mine are so crooked it looks like I was drinking when I made them. Once the sashing is on and they're quilted, I don't think it will be off.
I do like Butterfly #2-very cheery. Can we block some of these blocks into shape if they're a little wonky? Seems like a lot of bias edges to the blocks so there may be some give in them (I HOPE THERE IS). I guess I'm hoping for miracles from quilting and sashing. Mine have all finished up at 6 1/4" with a couple at 6 3/8 and a couple at 6 1/8 so I have some fudging to do. |
