I know I shouldn't do this but what the heck, I'm now a VIP chairperson --I like the Boneyfingers Title better than the Humpty Dumpty one. Anyway. I just Pm"d another member
with this and I had to share it with all of you.
.
Take a look at this block-----I worked on it off and on all evening. I have to do it over I was really tired yesterday,Had the grandchildren all day Tuesday. I measured and checked each quarter. They were coming up at 3- 1/2 inches. I said to myself ugg! I have to trim a 1/4 inch and now I have to worry about having enough seam for the points. So I started hacking away then put it all together. I measured again--OHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I did it and now I am soooooo(*&*%^%$%@) I have to do it over again! The block is 1/4 " short all around. I can't believe i did that. So my advice to you is don't put a rotary cutter in your hands when you are tired. Anne

Is anyone using the templates from the farmer's wife blog? The ones that print each template for one block together on a page? I am, since I bought the kindle version of the book, and I know some people had found some errors with these templates, I just wanted to check and see if anybody else had found problems with blocks 1 and 2 before I started. :)

No, no, no, I will be the only person in this WORLD to have a Bird's in the Air Pot Holder. I'm already halfway done with another one. I still can't believe I did that. I always telling everyone in my classes to measure and measure again before cutting. Oh Well, I do have a nice collection of Potholders. :lol: :lol: :lol:
