So I panicked after my last BOTM meeting and I just knew the Quilting God's HATED me after my first train wreck of a block and then this one has some pro's shaking in their boots. So I was totally freaked out. The good thing about being a visual learner, is Once I do something I can do it a million times after learning. And the good thing about this block was it's again 1/2 triangles, so I knew what I was doing it was just going to be arranging them in a different order. I was so happy with this block, I only had to rip one set of seams and re-sew it but that was because I was talking on the phone when I did it and sewed it right to wrong lol. When I finished the center piecing I actually cried happy tears because I was so excited with how easy and well it went together....that was until....dun dun dun.... the top edge didn't match up. It was 1/2 in. too long...I measured all my seams in the piecing and they all seem to be 1/4 in or just a hair off but this had me freaking out... Now happy tears turned back into frustrated tears. I put it away for a few day's so I could breathe and re-group. I fixed it and then put it all together.... It's kinda warped looking in the photo but it's not that bad in real life.
Your doing great Andi! I'm just now thinking about getting back into quitting again, I've never had great success at it though!
