An attic quilt block. :o
This is my first ever quilt and there was a lot to attribute to it. I was using the teeniest stitches at first, so there was distortion at the end of the lines. I was also using the wrong needle, which might have attributed to it. Plus, being the first time, just basic inexperience. :lol:
I bought a 12.5" square ruler, but not until I had already started squaring them off, so too late.
I'm not upset with the results. No one is going to take a ruler to it and measure the blocks. :lol: At least I hope not! LOL Just trying to find ideas for improving in the future.
I have begun allowing extra on my measurements as well as I add more pieces to try and reduce the loss.
