Looks great to me!

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.

Wow! That is so beautiful. I love your colors.

Here is my Rosellens Cross. Somehow, it ended up off center but I went with it. Other curious things seem to be happening as well. I think I kind of like it.

Irene - that's putting your own stamp on the pattern and I kinda like it too.

Irene, I like it, too.

Obsessed 02-17-2011 08:07 PM

I like it too! Very cool and rustic looking.

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?

Hi All, Well here are my 6" and 12" blocks for this week. I reworked the 12" block to make it better for me. I'll post those directions in the next post.

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!
