Lots of sewing and unsewing happened yesterday, most blocks turned out ok but one had been particularly stubborn, I can not see where I am going wrong.
I started sewing outdoors in the morning, such a beautiful,place to sit and stitch for a while.
Blogger has rearranged the photos so they are muddled and I can't be bothered doing them again!!
I created a new block called Dogs Breakfast!!😂😂😂 it has been unpicked twice and still isn't right!!
I have made 6 blocks for the Schoolgirl Sampler, they vary in size from the required 4 and a half inches to 5 inches!! Mmmmmmmm.......
Here is the stubborn block, third time lucky I thought , but no one piece is a quarter of and inch out and we cannot work out why. I think when I go home I will cut another one and try again.
Here is the quilt top Ingrid made yesterday, it will have borders in a few days.
And bringing up the rear, even though it should have been in second place, a strip of Old Time Kaleidoscope I joined yesterday morning.
I am off to do some fpp, hopefully it will be less stressful that the Schoolgirl Sampler blocks from yesterday.
Happy stitching.
Oh golly - top marks for persistence!! Better luck stitching today - it looks like a lovely setting for sewing :-) When I have a tricky block, I go back and measure each unit of it - generally you can work out what size each part should be, then when I do the final join up, it should be correct!!
ReplyDeleteYou have achieved a lot at your retreat. I will be interested to learn why that block is misbehaving. I have noticed that blogger is doing some funny things over the past week. My little icon which appeared at the bottom of each post has disappeared which allowed you to amend a post once it was published??????
ReplyDeleteI hope you have better luck with your block when you try again. Your weekend sounds like it was lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely work sue.
ReplyDeleteHow are you cutting & stitching that naughty block. Are you printing the pattern out.
Wonderful stitching, you are in a pretty place. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are a bit of a challenge. When they go wrong like your Dogs Breakfast one I just cannot for the life of me see what is wrong and how to fix it.... well done for sorting it....
ReplyDeleteKaliedoscope is going to be stunning...

ReplyDeleteThe pool looks so appealing! As much as I like basket blocks, I enjoyed seeing Dogs Breakfast, too. LOL
