There are a LOT great things about our particular Blocks of the Month activity. One of those things is that we are NOT required to follow the instructions to the letter if we can think of a method that works better for us.
For those who prefer to paper piece, i say GoForIt! :P
I have no intention of trying to get the long solid strips set in perfectly. I will cut mine long then trim the corners back to square when i have it altogether. i will probably not even cut them on the bias.
Pssst!!! Toni! C'mere ... let me whisper a secret in your ear ... when i took my first look at the block i had a heart attack! :lol: BUT i know i can do it. EVERYBODY here has what it takes to make this block. I will just have to take my time and pay closer attention to detail than i usually do.
We need a challenge now and then. It's good for us and will keep us moving forward. It helps us find our strengths and weaknesses and build our confidence. For those who are worried about this one, don't focus on fear and insecurity. Focus on how FABULOUS it looks and how GREAT and PROUD you will feel when you have finished it and proven to yourself what I already know. Which is ... YOU CAN DO IT. :P :P :P
