    this was my very first PP project, I dont know if I should scream, or cry!
    It did turn out better than I thought it would, but I dont feel it is good enough to pass on to Candlequilter
    I dont even know where to begin on fixing it, I dont want to make it worse.

    what do you think?

    I think you did a good job. It was my first time also and I did this block, and sent it on to Candlequilter. I worked on mine off and on for 9 hours. Had paper and fabric all over my sewing room. But I didn't give up. Now she has a tutorial step by step on the board under tutorials. I could have used that when I did mine. Like the last comment square it up and press really well, I think it will be fine...

    Great job on your block. Once it is squared up and starched it will be fine. I am really proud of you for making this block and it will be great to put in one of my American Hero quilts.

    Thank you and I really appreciate the help.

    Thanks,
    Sherryl
