I have decided to "adjust" the shy blocks instead of redoing.....not worth the frustration.....'
I printed out patterns and did two more blocks last nite.......added 1/4" to whatever part was the outside edge of the blocks and with a little trim there was the 6 1/2" block needed. So, that is going to be my strategy from now on.....add where I can, trim after......I have been quilting for several years and these blocks seem so tricky.....I guess because some of them are so unusual, the pieces just seem to go against anything I have ever done before and I really feel challenged......but it will not beat me. If Janie could do these buggers by hand with scissors, I can do at least a reasonable facsimile with all the "tools" (toys) available now......
I also have the Farmer's Wife and Pony Club....as I do this one, I am wondering if those two are just as "challenging"--have any of you done either/both of these.....what is Dear Hannah about...saw that book too......
