Thank you. That "housewife" block came from Quilterscache.com and is very pretty. I am thinking about using it for a couple of other blocks in the swaps.

ljdugas - your fabric is very nice. Here's a "Housewife" block for your collection. The roses with pink and white looks so very feminine.

No I wasn't being funny, sure I do the dumb mistakes of turning squares and triangles wrong but I mean where I really can't figure out how the pieces go. Will post block I made for letsew, the corner pieces on the two squares in the bottom half of square just about drove me to tears.

If this is something new or different for you, you should see a neurologist.

Kass I don't think it's anything new. Think in the past I just avoided blocks like this knowing it would be a problem. Now with trying to branch out the patterns seem totally doable until I am actually trying to put them together. Maybe I'll try cutting out the pieces again and see what dh sees and compare it to what I see.

I will draw out a quick line drawing of the block and put it beside what I am working on as a constant "comparison" it helps me to keep things straight.

I lay out the pieces as they should go on the table beside me, and then only pick up two at a time to sew together. Then I put them back in place on the table... until all are connected. Quilting can be hard! And some of these blocks are complicated. I do love the 'puzzle' of it, tho.

Got 4 blocks done for the March group. 2 for sewbiz and one more for JLT and Linda Dugas. I think I have 8 more to make. Im having a lot of doubts about LStews fabric :)

So if you look at the bottom where the 4 triangles come togther, that is what I have so much difficulty seeing how to piece. When I have finished the March blocks will really sit down and take a look at it. For now I think I will need to d aw out the block full size and Kay the pieces on it. Sewbiz I do try to it your way but when triangles are sewn together they aren't the same as in pucture
