Queenbarbiej ~ Great fabrics and pretty block! I’m also hoping to complete the Old School BOM.
I’m working on the February block but it’s turning into a Murphy’s Law battle. I thought these would go more quickly, but I sure seem to spend a lot of time just picking which fabrics to use. Then I decided to do the half-square triangles with the paper sheets but picked the wrong size, so every single one had to be cut down. I haven’t decided if it would have been easier to just re-do them from scratch. I’m finally to the stage of sewing all the 2” blocks together and working carefully to get the points as sharp as I can. Hope to have it finished to show in the next day or two.
