The first block worked out well, it all went astray after that one block. I got discouraged, and resigned myself to the fact that it may have to be thrown out along with the attempt of the next block.
I put it away, made three tops and two other quilt tops and got back to it. I squared up the block (it was more of a rectangle beforehand) and finished it off to make another baby quilt top.
It needs a press, but I did make do with what fabric I had on hand.
The instructions I used (I am not going to name and shame) were partially to blame for what went wrong with this quilt top. However, in the end I am happy with the end result.
What I find with sewing is, that most of the time things go along well, however, sometimes some curvers come our way. We have two choices at this stage; throw it out and start again or try and problem solve the problem. It is much more satisfying when we problem solve and come out with a satisfactory result.
How has your sewing been progressing?
Happy sewing.

PS Some other leftover 'mistakes' did make it into the bin!
