When to call it quits

Your blocks look great to me. Just be careful to keep even seam allowances. I still struggle with "scant" 1/4" seams. It gets better with practice. I love your bright colorful blocks. Be sure to post a photo of the finished quilt.

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE, I finally did it! Not exactly sure what changes I made this time but all of my points are intact with room for a 1/4" seam. It took me a really long time to finish it because I was extra careful.
Thanks everyone for your input. I'm on to the next one!

It's great to practice to get your skills down pat but if you only put blocks in a quilt that are absolutely perfect you may give up. Just stay at it and you will get better. No one starts out perfect. Great to look back and see how much you have improved.

Your points look better than mine ever do. If you think you are going to lose them, sew 1/8" instead of 1/4". That's what I usually do with sashing because my points aren't that great. I love your blocks. The fabrics and colors are so pretty. They don't look like practice blocks to me.
