Well I tried and it doesn't look that good I guess I need to practice more. I hope you have better luck than I am having

Huh I chickened out, I looked at it and looked at it and then thought nope, try another.

There is no shame in leaving this one until later and you have a bit more experience.

Once you have made more leaves and heart shapes, you will have built up some confidence and the scroll won't be so daunting.

I just didn´t fancy doing it just at that moment, if I put my mind to it I will do it. i never give up

Didn´t find it daunting found it fiddly

Here is mine. This took me about 12 hours...I'm slow. It is NOT my favorite, I don't think it is really pretty compared to the others, but guess what....its going IN the quilt!

I love it Patti, you know what happèned with Jane when you thought you didn´t like the block and it wasn´t going to work. Well you know it did and I think this one will fit in lovely.

I like it Patti - you made a great job of the scrolls - now the rest in the quilt won't be quite so bad.

Are you timing yourself for every block? I haven't.

well my block 17 is still a WIP and my scrolls are just not what I think they should be. I have beeen working on this block 3 days and I only have one scroll put on I had to go to the next block before I had a melt down. Well back to the blocks. Maybe I will show block17 when I finally finish it , or maybe not. have fun

Oh dear Lynnie, that sounds so sad, I am really sorry you are having such a problem.

I looked for a Youtube video that might help - I couldn't find one the way I do it, but this might be an alternative way:

It would be the second half of this that you need to watch, and using her method would need quite a few tiny snips in the seam allowance to get nice curves, but it could work quite well.

:thumbup: I love red. Sometimes what we don't feel all that enthused about by itself, really plays well in groups :XD:
It has serious potential and gets applause from the paws ;)
I have my book and a lot of the fabrics...just got to get a lot more other things lined up, so I won't be working along with y'all, but visiting often to slurp up the goodness. Keep it coming, I could look at these for days, weeks, months...and probably will be looking at mine...let's hope not years! :? :lol:
