After a mind numbing day of accreditation and vertical teaming meetings I thought I deserved a little time playing with fabric. Lacking the backing fabric for the baby quilt, I thought I would whip up one of Amy's BOM's. Cut, sew, press, picture -- woops, the nine patches were flipped. How many times do you notice a mistake only when looking at the photo? No problem, rip, flip, stitch, press, picture.
Oops again, the bowtie blocks are headed different directions. Check the directions, rip, flip, stitch, grumble a little,
look a the block this time.
Finally! Who knew such a simple block could go wrong in so many ways? Lesson learned, next time wake up from zombie like trance before trying something requiring thought.

ReplyDeleteLaffffffffffffffffffffffffffffin my lil' butt off!!
Okay, make sure you have a small cup of coffee (or Dew) before the next block :0)
Happy Monday!
OH! Almost forgot to say...
ReplyDeleteI like your color choices too!
But just look at those perfect points.
ReplyDeleteYou aren't the only one, I made more mistakes on this block than any other one block ever. I love yours, the background puts me in mind of a lacy wrought iron garden gate. It would go well with a Thomas Kinkade painting "The Open Gate".
ReplyDeleteThe block looks great. So, who's counting anyway...Your colors are very good too. I love the swirlies in the background fabric... yes, maybe next time you should drink some coffee first. Take care and have fun. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm going to try making one of these.
