    I made this block to use on a postcard. Is it as bad as I think it is? I can't quite pinpoint why I don't like it, it just seems funny looking.

    I think it looks fine and when the edges are finished, it will look much better! The colors are great!

    That's it! It needs some kind of binding to finish the raw edges! It's really pretty!

    Postcards are just meant for fun not for stressing out on. Your colors are gorgeous. Send it to someone, they will love it and that you did something so special for them

    It's not bad, but you've got 2 different angles going on between the diamond shape and the 90 degree print on the WOW fabric. You notice it, but not in a negative way. It adds movement.

    Love it! How do you mount it for a postcard? Or does it go into an envelope? I have never seen this done.
