On the good side though, I have spent the day sewing my block, Rosellen's Cross.
I have to say that I did not particularly like the pic of Penny H's block in the book, but after seeing Obsessed's different choice of fabrics and thinking about my choices, I have now decided it wasn't the block as much as Penny's choice of fabrics that didn't appeal.
Here is my Rosellen's Cross.

There appeared to be heaps of folks interested in doing these blocks at the beginning who purchased PH's book.
There seems to be about 6 or 7 posting pics of blocks.
Are you all out there quietly glueing, stitching and soaking? Or have I missed some posts and need to go back through the thread and pay better attention this time?

I made the horrible mistake of cutting through the top fabric while removing paper templates. To repair it, I clipped the zz stitching all around the damaged area. I trimmed out all of that piece of fabric, put a fresh piece behind the block, then sewed zz around that section. From the backside, of course, you can see my mess. From the front side, even I can't tell which diamond was replaced. sweet!
