Defeat Admitted

When I took a second look at this block I realized that I had sewn it together wrong. Most of those seams are bias so it seemed wise to put the whole thing in a bag, stick the bag into the book and put them both on the shelf for an indeterminate length of time. When enough time has passed, I'll toss it into the garbage. I will keep the book as eye candy though. If a design gives you a headache and you are not eager to go to your studio, it's time to call it quits and start something you actually like doing.

Paula VS Me...I Lose!

Here is Paula's masterpiece with a detailed pattern. Seems simple enough. It's not.


How on earth did I end up with the dreaded Y seam??


I have two sections sewn together. Of course, they are lumpy and bumpy and nothing fits as it should. I'm going back to where I can just lop a bit off if it's too long or add a chunk if it's too short. I'm not made for such precision. Mine looks like a simple star which I could do without all the headaches involved in making this one. Maybe I need a class. Or maybe I'll just go back to what I really enjoy.
