i'm tickled pink that you guys like my tute.
this block could be challenging for a beginner. however, if you take your time and keep careful track of your steps, a beginner could very well do this block successfully.
no matter which method you choose to make this block, the hardest parts are:
1. keeping the colors in the right place
2. keeping the patches pointed in the right direction
that's why i always
1. keep a printout of the finished block by the machine as a reference
2. i stack all the pieces and arranged them ahead of time
i stack and arrange everything on a sheet of cardboard. before i walk away from it, i stick pins through the stacks into the cardboard so they stay put. if i don't do that, they play musical chairs while i'm not looking. :lol:
a pizza box would come in handy. instead of a plain sheet of cardboard, you could stack, arrange, and pin them to the box. if you need set it aside, just close the lid and it's ready for safe storage.
