Toward the end, I did re-make a few blocks, using either part or all of the original pieces, but shifting them around. The last thing I did as I was putting the quilt together was a total do-over (with different fabric) of the railroad block.
The whole FWS was very educational, both in terms of color value and how to do the most painless & accurate construction.
Thanks Weezie!!
Some good thoughts there Weezie ... particularly the last one .. the more we learn painless and accurate construction, the more things we can make that jump out and say, here, look at meeee!! :)
