It's Day Two of the Thanksgiving Break Sewing FWS Blocks Marathon. I just finished my fourth block of the break.

I've been dreading the Century of Progress because of what everyone was saying in the discussion. One of the advantages of being behind is that you benefit from everyone's advice on the block and see bunches of different colorways. The colorways really helped me on Century of Progress. And thanks to those who addressed the big bump in the middle. I pressed all my seams open. When I pressed it for the final time, I wet it down and pressed the snot out of it. Voila! No bump. I actually think I like this block, but I'm not making a whole quilt from them.

My only problem is a couple of my points disappeared in the seam, as there was no seam allowance on one side. I'm usually fairly good with points, but I'll let this one ride.
