April 23rd and done!

I have thoroughly enjoyed stitching my blocks this month.  I decided to get organized! So organized I messed up.  Stitched some of May's blocks and some of April's blocks.  Oh well, off to a good start for May now.  I also forgot about the amendment for the star (diamond) block.  After piecing the star I laid it on the block to be stitched down and something was not right.  It did not fit!  How many others did this?  Am I the only 'block head'?  Wow...and I loved that star!  It was the first time I had done English paper piecing and loved it....but it didn't fit.  So back to the drawing board...I am enjoying seeing everyone's progress.





Happy Stitching!

I titally understand how you can be so organised and yet . . . I have re sorted my blocks I don't know how many times - thats because I just go ahead and don't check - I do the right shape in the wrong shaped border - but overall it will work out. The 6 pointed star was the easiest for me - I didn't see any amendment - then again I dont read the words - just the pictures usually...sometimes it pays off.

Yes the star is beautiful, you can save it for something else!
