Got a few blocks made ... then ran into a snag.

I really really really stink when it comes to inset seams. After 2 hours of sewing, unsewing, and resewing, GroovyPieces' block still turned out pretty lousy. It somehow came out too large, and when I squared it up, I lost the corners on the diamond shape. Here's a photo showing how it came out. If you want me to try again, I'll be glad to pay for the extra piece of fabric and the postage. Sorry about that. I feel like crawling under my sewing table! I'll make some practice blocks in the meantime so hopefully I can get it right.

I finished a couple of other blocks as well, and will get photos ASAP. (Are we supposed to post photos?) I particularly had fun making the flower basket block for Givio.
