As you may know, I’m not too fond of piecing, but I join these groups so I will be forced to increase my skills. Above I did a lot of cutting.
Then a lot of trimming.
Then I carefully placed the blocks as shown in the picture in the book. I’m sure this will be no surprise, but even after I placed everything as it should be, I still messed up and had to un-stitch on one row. I guess I should be thankful it was only one row! Anyway, I’m glad I made this block. It does give me more self-confidence when I look at it. In the first picture it looks like a seam is not straight, so I ran to my sewing room to check, thinking I would have to do more un-stitching. Fortunately, it must have been the way I smoothed the block (I should have ironed it) that gave it that curved look. I just hope Annie likes it.
