Happy New Year!

I played with the pattern and built one block.  I fear curves and templates as if they were huge spiders – Like that one in Harry Potter….but, I like this block.  After a few deep breaths and reading the instructions a few times, I did it.  And you know what?  I liked it!!

If I could pass along a few tips – pay attention to the directions.  I’m not one to follow sewing instructions, but it did make a huge difference.  Especially the clipping and pressing directions.

Starch helped too.

Also, be careful if you need to square up your block.  If you trim the wrong edge, I don’t think the curves will line up, they’ll be slightly off when the winners assemble the top.

   

I took a picture of the back of the block, so you can see how neat and clean it looks.  🙂

I’ll be making more of these!
