Deb, here is what could be salvaged from the mess, not what I had intended, but I think it will be fine. I'll be mailing it in the coming week. Thanks for hosting another swap. Even during your own personal disaster, you were available for us.

I do know all the love and work that goes into those beautiful roses...I have a yard full myself. I have some that are getting their leaves, no buds yet : (

Here is a way I save all the trimmings from doing this block. I save all the HST that are left over, use them either to make a block, use in a border, use to frame the label on the back & have even used them for the binding.
I use this method whenever I am sewing flying geese, or any other time I am trimming enough to save.
These hst's can be saved to make a scrap quilt, as well.
Hope you find this method usefull.

start with original line drawn corner to corner
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173673[/ATTACH]
draw 2nd line 1/2" from first line
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173674[/ATTACH]
2 lines drawn
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173675[/ATTACH]
sew first line as usual
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173676[/ATTACH]
now sew second line, both can be stripped pieced
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173683[/ATTACH]
set seams with iron
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173686[/ATTACH]
line ruler to cut between lines, leaving 1/4" seam for both
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173688[/ATTACH]
cut blocks apart
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173690[/ATTACH]
2 sections,
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173692[/ATTACH]
spray starch, & press
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173695[/ATTACH]
pressing small hst open
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173696[/ATTACH]
hst all the same size
[ATTACH=CONFIG]173697[/ATTACH]
you now have your original block & usable hst's, with no bias edges to deal with, ready for use.
