Frustrated, I love both of your blocks!! Yes, it's maddening to come up a tiny bit short. I work with them if it's for me, but really want my swap blocks to be on target! You are right about making one and getting a feel for how it sews up before doing them all.

So then we can make two sets, and SheriR is the first to go so far and do that? Am I reading this right? You are already done with your first set SheriR, and they thought I was OCD.

Is my Boo Boo ok with everyone or do I have to go buy more fabric and fix it?

Best way I can think of to make sure your points are good is when you are sewing the 1/4 seam, make sure your needle goes right over where the two threads make the X on the geese . Nice colors for the blocks I am seeing!

Looking good on colors and mine will fit in nicely. Still have not sewn them up but have the 4.5" hst done. I am using the paper piecing method (sheets 8x10) to make my 2.5" HST. This way less trimming as long as I press and not iron. I get a little heavy handed sometimes. Just ask my kids :D
|
You can make as many sets of this as you want. The most I have had come in any swap was 5. Karen was real active!!!! Three seems to be pushing it a bit, some do two.....most only do one set......do what you are comfortable with!!!

I guess no one noticed the boo boo on my block except me. I will have to tell you. My light fabric is a directional one and I didn't realize this until I did all four blocks then I saw the BOO BOO. Should I go buy more fabric ???
