Love the fab choices. Just walk away from the sewing machine. Take a break and try again. You'll be ok. First block is always the hardest, right?

Thank you so much for sharing this, I had some trouble with the block, too! I was making a baby blanket, and on the second block I sewed a square wrong side up. It would have meant tearing the whole thing apart...I was so frustrated I trashed it, used the one block that worked as a centerpiece, and cut up the rest of the fabric and used around it.

I'll probably try it again, but in no way was this 10-minute block foolproof!

i think your colors look lovely! if you want find a purple fabric and add a border to bring out the little flowers in the fabrics. greens and purples are wonderful together.. though i am so partial to green.. its such a pretty color! dont give up! go eat a bowl of ice cream if you have some and read posts on this site... its what i do to get me motivated again!

Good luck and hope we get to see a finished product of this. thanks for sharing!

I like it a lot. I am partial to green.
I did the same thing when working on a hidden wells block.
I had to take one half of two blocks apart.
Now that you have given yourself a good orientation of sewing and ripping..........things should go easier.
Keep on making them!

Good ideas Crafty_linda_b Are you thinking it would make a bow tie if using the same fabric for the center?

Hi cjmomma, Some days are just like that. Tomorrow will be better!!! I have the same issue with 30 minute meals – they take an hour LOL! If it makes you feel any better your block is adorable!

I'm not a fan of greens but I love your block! The color/pattern combo looks great together!
