I worked on it last night and got another block done and the green and brown squares cut out for the rest of them.

I'm just going to do it and not worry about it so much. I'm breaking it down into manageable parts of doing 7 of each type at a time. There are 28 of these 6" blocks, 7 mulberry and green, 7 mulberry and blue, 7 brown and green, 7 brown and blue.

I think it will help when I receive the padded pressing/blocking board that I ordered yesterday. My concern on the blocks is that they are so small that the slightest error makes them get out of size. After experimenting with using a scant 1/4" I found that even that much off makes the block a bit larger than 6 1/2" and I don't want that either because it will cut off my points if I leave it like that!

As you say, there is no quilt police. I can only do what I can do and I'll have to let go of the thought that it has to be perfect. I'm sure my daughter won't be judging it. :wink:
