Week Ten: C5

This is the block which caused a minor breakdown or a major tantrum depending on how charitable you are feeling towards me.

Oops

As you can see I made a four square block instead of a pinwheel block and didn't notice until I was trimming and pressing the "finished" block. What a maroon. eh Doc?

C5 Eye if the Cyclone

Huge difference between this and the first block. I really don't know where my head is sometimes.

This is a very neat block. Love the design. I am very fond of curves and pinwheels so this is definitely a favorite. That wonkiness in the top right quad is from the scanner the block lays nice and flat in person.

Week Ten: Officially in a Snit

I just completed a beautiful block. I combined applique, piecing, and reverse applique and I executed it beautifully. I gave it a final press and scanned it but while I was straightening and cropping the scan I thought something was odd. Perhaps even slightly off. Further examination and comparison to the original showed that yes I had made an error.

A colossal error.

An error from which there was no possibility of a comeback. There was no possible fix. If I wanted my block to resemble the proper block in any way shape or form I need to start all over. I couldn't even re-use the fabric. Total and complete waste of time and material.

Thus I am not going to sew anything today. I'm just going to rage against the fates and pout until I feel better.


C5 can suck it.
