    The block is beautiful. You should have never mentioned it was a fix for a mistake. Your post could've read 'HEY, LOOK AT MY COOL NEW IDEA!" No one would have been the wiser.

    Thank you all :D

    Klue, I went back and looked at it and Yes it does have an appliqued look!!! :wink:

    It was brought up a while ago about posting our mistakes and/or corrections as a learning tool...boy did I learn LOL Next time, and there will be a next time, I will try to remember to take a picture of it in "all of it's glory" before experimenting with it.
    The idea I seen led to this idea...it seemed right to pass it on...as well as CHECK for lint more often in the bobbin area :oops: ...check your stitching frequently :oops: ... hopefull someone else will read this and avoid one or more of my mistakes :wink:

    MsSage, the stitching would not have held the block together in about 1/4 of the pieced work. Also there were 2 places that I blew the piecing order which threw off the look of the block...

    It looks great and should be stronger. Good thinking on your feet!

    Very nice block I didn't see anything wrong with it, and I love the embellishments.
