Then I went and read your post and discovered your struggles. I like that you want to know "why" something is not fitting. I also cannot believe this is a 6" block! I understand the challenge because I made a Dear Jane quilt with 4 1/2" blocks. They are crazy but so satisfying. I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling that satisfaction after so much intricate, beautiful work. I recommend putting the project aside for awhile and working on something else. With a little time, I always fall back in love with my projects.dqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11119485151688536210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-38210557726803304492019-07-07T11:41:24.987-04:002019-07-07T11:41:24.987-04:00Hello Rabecca.

I think it came out beautifully. I do understand your seam matching frustration though.

Thanks for a great visit. Love the fabrics you choose for the block it sure is striking, radical and out there.

Just wanted to let you know though that my sister made the whole quilt from the '30's book and found many errors in the patterns.

I suffer from the same malady and it can be very aggravating. Like Karen, I like to oversize my blocks and trim them down, but that certainly doesn't work with a complex block like this one. Some days I have to remind myself that this is supposed to be fun!<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-19795675328078006902019-07-03T09:07:58.102-04:002019-07-03T09:07:58.102-04:00Oh girl, let it be and go watch the Beatles movie ...Oh girl, let it be and go watch the Beatles movie (Yesterday) instead!Jenny K.

You need to let yourself relax with your quilting and get a little more laid back :) I see no mistakes in your block and I really looked it over after you said it wasn't perfect as it looked perfect to me. My 6.5 inch blocks are rarely ever perfect I have to make a block a little larger usually so I can trim it down to size<br />Hope now that you got your sewing space cleaned up you can feel more productiveKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-20031972204470277932019-07-03T07:32:40.169-04:002019-07-03T07:32:40.169-04:00I hear you on the sewing room clean up.

Before I put everything in its new place I had a few projects I needed done to take on a trip. After that the real bridal veil HAD to get done before cleaning up. My agenda now is to finishe the shirt, finish prep on the tote bag, clean up and start the dress for the wedding. <br /><br />I do understand the diversion into something different between a big project and starting another must do project. It’s like taking a cleansing breath before tackling another head down to the grindstone work. Over 50 pieces in a block as a cleansing breath? Having the colors and mixed in with the other blocks no one will see the little alignment issues. If they do and comment who hired them as the quilt police? It is back in its box awaiting the next foray into the queue. <br /><br />A little garden work, housework then finish the shirt and clean that room. Will it all get done? I won’t know until I start.
