    Wow. Silly me when I looked at others block, I realize I had added cornea to wrong sides, no wonder block was too small.... Funny how sometimes things just do not click the first time around. Maybe I will redo...just to prove to myself that I can. Lol

    I like the change you made, you kind of turned it on point, looks great! I'm glad the pattern helped.

    Judy...........I really love the look of your Double Aster block with the cornea turned in a different direction. Your fabric's & color's all go together so nicely & play well together. If you decide to make another block be sure to share it with all of us too, as we love to see pictures!! Good Job!!

    Diana.............Your block is awesome too. I love the black background, it really sets off the pink & white fabric's that you have used in making your block. Are you using the same color scheme in all of your 2013 BOM block's? All of the pretty blocks shown so far, are going to make gorgeous quilt's by the end of the year. I can hardly wait to see all of the combinations together. Now we wait until the May block comes out!!

    Cathy I love your block. I like the contrast between the dark and light colors! The background brings out the small amount of similar colors in the aster perfectly!

    I made this twice and it turned out 11.25" both times, but the second time I did get the center to fit in.

    I'll make a mug rug of the other. I like the colors better in this one for my quilt.

    Did I attach my sections wrong? Is that why it was small? I added more background fabric to it so it would be the same size as the last three blocks.

    Judy, your block is very pretty, and thanks to you I now know why mine was too small. I did the same thing. I used the same fix as you. I'm still having a hard time visualizing where I should have attached the small square, but I'm happy I won't go nutty trying to figure out how my block could be so much smaller!

    Sorry, I should have indicated on the paper piece where the large triangles should have been sewn. But I love the new look. Cas, I love your colors.

    Thanks Dede!

    Judy, our blocks are not sewn wrong. We just need to remove the extra frame, turn them so the center looks like a diamond and sew the corners on. I un-did my first one to see how I should have attached the sections and just could NOT figure it out, then held it up to one on the screen and realized it was right! So it's laying there in the right order now, ready to re-sew. The bright side is I changed the color of the center so it pops more.
