I must have used the wrong size pattern because mine came out 12inch but i have only one set oh well i will be the odd ball on this one i guess, I will have to try the smaller size so i can have the four sections but this what i have so far. lol silly me....

czpainter40.............Your block turned out really amazing, it is just beautiful & I really like your fabric placement. Isn't it something how changing the fabric layout can make the pattern look totally different? Nice work!!
:D :D :D :D

I hate this block! lol It's got the best of me! I've been slow to make it and every time I sit down to do so, there is something wrong with what I do. Now I thought I am almost done have all the pieces and now get down to 3 and the blocks were on that printed sheet that I didn't select actual size! lol It's larger thankfully as I have no more of this center fabric but I can use it. I thought there was only one now I just found out there are 2 more! lol But I am determined to see the last of it! lol Pray for me as I do need it! lol

80 pieces, ugh, sure hope my DD appreciates it. I'm not very fond of it myself.
oh, well, on to September, hope I can get caught up.

djmat I really like what you've done here. This is the first block that shows the center stand out so nicely. I had to go back to see if this was the same block. Amazing the placement of color shows an entirely new secondary design. Nice job.

LOL! For someone that is experience in Paper-Piecing this block has been a thorn in my side for almost 2 months! Everything I did I had to rip out and redo, then I got it so I could put the last section together and 3 of the blocks were larger than the 1 that was correct size. So I had to reprint and set my printer to print Actual size. I know this of course but some how didn't do it for all blocks.

Then I've got 3 of the 4 sections together after a lot of ripping and resewing! Ready to put last together and it goes well.....NOT....put it together wrong! lol I almost trashed it. Came very close but I just can't do that no matter how much ripping I do!

Oh almost forgot, it was together and good. Then I realized that my theme is black on white, white on black with touch of color. There was no color...frantic I picked up my Fabric Crayons after consulting with Jean...added that touch of color. Whew!

So here it is in all it's glory! Hope to never have to make another one! lol

Hugs,

PS. It was not the block, the ole devil has been after me for two months. I have spent more time repenting on my knees due to his pressure. But I the Lord and I have prevailed, need a new bottle of Anointing Oil though!

Well your coloring job looks perfect!! Glad you broke the hold that the "devil" had on you. Can't say I like the block and would do it again but I must have been in good hands with some state because it went together okay but mercy it took a whole lot of time. :D
