I am putting up this block so you all can have a good laugh. I hated this block with a passion. I cut the pieces wrong three times and the corners are still the wrong size, but I put them in anyway.

The block ended up being 13X13. I ran out of one of the fabrics and had to improvise.

They can be difficult sometimes, can't they. I think it looks great though. :D

i also think it's quite nice. love the colors, mix of fabrics, and as usual youve done a better job than you think you did.

:P

I think it is really pretty. Don't feel bad, I cut this one wrong enough times that I have enough extra pieces to make another whole block... in a totally different pattern :shock: :lol: Do not sweat it... we all have our days. You did a great job!

Thanks guys, for all the nice comments, but I am trashing it. I will try to do it again sometime.

don't trash it. put it in your scrap bag if you really don't want to use it in a quilt. someday, those pieces will be just right for something and you'll kick yourself because you ran out of those particular fabrics. i've been taking some previous block attempts apart to use in my BsOM. they've really come in handy.

You can always turn them into hot pads. You know how they never last forever anyway, and yet you have something you made. The Warm and Natural Company has a product that has a heat and moisture barrier. Can't remember what it's called right now. Maybe someone else can help there. I know it's available for hot pads and those casserole carriers.
