Sewing with panels
I use printed panels a lot and know they are rarely straight, but I can't believe the number of times I've tried to make "custom" blocks because the panel size didn't fit into a traditional block pattern. This one was no different and I'm kicking myself for not framing the blocks like I usually do so they are the correct size. This panel has 7" blocks, a weird size. I wanted to put them into stars, so I had to do the math and figure it all out. There was a lot of unsewing and wasted fabric, but I finally figured it out. The panels were framed in black, so now my star points look skewed because just a little bit of the black is visible. Lesson learned, I hope!
