I can't believe it's Friday already and all I have accomplished this week in the sewing room is one 6" hand pieced block! Block # 8 has already been posted for the Hand Piecing Quiltalong so I'm still behind, but I am delighted with how this block #6 turned out. Although it is cute, this block was a struggle since twice I sewed together sections that did not belong together. Here's a photo of the first problem.
Instead of sewing the pinwheel sections together for the centre, I sewed them side by side to be the second row. WRONG! I have no idea why this block seemed so hard, but sometimes life is just like that. Linking up to Elm Street Quilts.
Your fabric choices are so pretty! I'm glad your block turned out okay eventually - we all have moments like that, and they are so frustrating. It's as if you're a brand new stitcher or something!
Such a pretty block! I'd mis-sewed one of mine, also, which surprised me as I thought it would be difficult to make a mistake while handsewing. Why I thought that?...who knows
Pretty soft color - your points are great! If I were 10 years younger I would participate!!!!! Carpel Tunnel gets me on my left hand and affects my shoulder - darn! BUT that is what they make braces for! 2 surgeries did not fix them so no Number 3 in my future! You are doing good!
I've done the same thing with these blocks! At least I'm in good company. Being that the seams are so short, I didn't mind picking them out....much. :)

ReplyDeleteHow disheartening to have to keep unpicking your carefully made hand stitches! It is a very pretty finish (once it got there). :)
ReplyDelete....but it is so pretty now that it is right.
ReplyDeletePretty colors in your block. As I was String piecing today I sewed 3 pieces backwards,

ReplyDeleteI sewed the parts on this one wrong too. I think the pinwheel hypnotized me.
ReplyDeleteBlock is looking good. Thankfully these are small blocks so not to many stitches to unpick! Thanks for linking up with the Hand Pieced QAL!
