Claddaughquilting -- I can definitely identify with all the mistakes that can be made in one block. Polly, don't give up, it does get easier and it has taken me TWO weeks to piece 5 of Carol Doak's Maine Star. I am using many colors in each block and trying to keep each block a little bit different so it becomes a challenge. Before I get all the colors successfully sewn in place, most of the selected colors have wound up on the floor in a jumbled mess and I can't remember which piece I intended to sew where. If I can stick with it, it will make a striking quilt........
