Default My block1 of NYB

Today was a laid back rainy day! I brought my sewing machine, iron, and fabrics into the kitchen using the breakfast bar for sewing so I could enjoy the fireplace.

I had a few of my basket blocks to catch up in for another BOM. After doing those I brought out my NYB.
You should of seen DH's face when I had all the counters covered with fabrics. I put this combination with that one and back and forth before I made my decision.

Teal was the color for this block. I have attached the photo, this is Block 1, and the only one I have finished.
I was amazed at how complex it was and was intimidated. I went into Ripit ripit mode twice. The first time was because I did not put right sides together, the second was smoothing out the curve. The curve gets me everytime.

I still messed up where I wanted which fabrics on the points but if I don't tell, you won't know, right?

Even though there is more piecing in this block I did it! 3 more to go.
Time to run, time to cook up some comfort food for dinner.
