My sorry attempt at a mini-bargello
#25
Looks fine to me. I haven't even attempted one yet. I recently had a woman tell me not to use a different color for my cornerstones (I'd run out of the color that I'd used in my blocks and it wasn't available anymore) She said that I'd look at the finished product and think "That's where I had to substitute." I thought about that and realized that no, I'd look at the finished product and think "Wow, I finally finished that and it's beautiful!" Your's might not look like someone else's but that's okay and wonderful--it's not supposed to be an exact copy, it's supposed to individually yours.

I like your colors! And yes, those 1 inch strips are a bit of a bugger, aren't they? It's just such fun to lay the strips out and see what happens.
I know what you mean about blaming Eddie. He makes everything look easy!

Yes, the seams were difficult on the small/tiny strips, but our minds are so wonderful! As soon as your brain figured out that it wasn't all that easy? It began trying to come up with a solution, because (whichever side is reasonable) is telling the part (that is creative) that it has been done before, hence it can be done again ... and, we all know that the first time is always scarey, but the second time - - a snap!
Trust me like an old woman who has lots of time to sit around egging everyone else on! LOL
Honestly, it is only one strip, and it isn't too hard to take out and turn around is it?
Tell you what ... send it to me, I will take it out for you and send it back to you to sew back together .... seriously! If it will help, I can do it! <wave>
