I am working on a quilt for my daughter - three fabrics - one size block - you would think it would be easy ... WRONG! I have bought extra fabric twice! Now I know why I LOVE scrappy quilts!

Because I have two different rulers to do the same block, the directions for cutting are different for both of them because one is going to make 8" blocks and the other 10" blocks - but I wanted the 10" size and cut for the 8" size - then I needed more fabric because smaller blocks equals more needed - then cut one whole strip of blocks 1/2" too short --- ARGH!!!!

This should be easy and it has been more work than some of the more complicated quilts I have made - which is usually the case for me - I think it must be that I look at the pattern and think "this will be easy", then I don't do as good a job reading the instructions as I should ...

It will be fun to see a picture of your finished project.
