This looks so nice! I always take waaaayyyyy longer to do things that don't seem they should take so long to do. Then I realized I'm not in a race to quilt...I'm doing it just for the fun of it. Once I was okay with that, then it didn't matter if something took 10 min. or an hour. I do think though that since you've got one under your belt the others will go faster. This is really, really pretty! I think now I'm going to have to try one. If it took you 45 minutes it'll probably take me more than an hour! lol!

you are smarter than me, it took me 2 hours and the help of a friend. lol the second one only took a half hour, by the time I'm done maybe I can get it down to 10 minutes. I like the block and I think I will like the quilt when it's done.

It's a lovely block. They will get faster as you become more familiar with the pattern. The first block of a quilt pattern is always slower, because you're extra careful to get everything just right. Soon you'll be making them without having to look at the directions and they will be quicker to complete!

Well I really like your block..and it will get better with each one you do,

but I totally get it when things go wrong.. it happened to me this morning too.

sewing day exclusively for the wedding dresses.. first I clipped through the front, right at the boob line..

then sewed the front to the back when putting in the boning... sometimes you just have to put it away for another day

Thank you for all the encouragement and compliments on my block. I decided to stop there and clean my livingroom up instead. LOL!!
