Well, I started the second block this afternoon, and for a while thought I was going to be telling you that I'm winning. I made all 4 sections with "only" 2 mistakes - I thought. Then I came to sew them together and discovered that somehow one of the star points has been lopped off beyond the 1/4in mark. And that's after really taking my time and concentrating. Unbelievable. I'm now going to walk away and have a nice restorative cup of tea and come back to this tomorrow. Think I'd better dig out a ufo to give me something else to do - I'm going to have to take this one VERY slowly. I'm already sick of it and I haven't even finished the 2nd block :thumbdown: But it will look fantastic if I can ever do it, so I'll persevere for now.
