Blocks 65 & 66

I used fabric that "blends" rather than contrasts for #65-I could not get those points right!

Hi Ladies, I also had problems with the points on the inside. What I did was to pin the points together then every 1/2", put the sewing machine needle down into the point and then sewed from the middle of the block(where the point was) to the edge of the block. I then turned the block around and sewed from the middle out to the other side --removing the pins as you sew.

Hi Ladies
Managed to get my blocks done on time this week. I also had a few problems with #65 but I am not going to redo it.

I was supposed to go to patchwork today but the highway is closed AGAIN due to flooding. This is the fifth closure since Christmas. We have had 42 inches of rain so far for March and it is only the 17th. I am so over it
:-(

I think I will hide out in my sewing room today
