ok I am back. After cutting enough "wrong" pieces I finally got the correct amount. Next time I will stick to quilters cache as I think instructions there are sooo simple. not even a hard block to sew. Big trouble? I hate it. Hate the colors. Could grow on me, could decorate the recycle bin. I have sewn half. On a 12" block not hard. I stopped four times saying ugh..as in ugly. Good colors, good combos. Why do I hate it? I never ever sew much with solids. I think finger prints, way too hard to keep clean, boring? And these are NOT boring colors. What is wrong with me? Should I scrap it? suggestions? shoot-a-roonie. I am frustrated. (whine whine whine get over it..)
