I am rested and gearing myself up for round two with Fu Man Chus Fiendish Puzzle block ....

It nearly had me in tears yesterday afternoon so the likelihood of it being one of next months Blocks is receding rapidly in the rear view mirror ... which is a pity as it really is a very pretty block.

I really should hoover around but this seems to have become a challenge ... to the death!!!  :devil:

Just tell us to find our own for the next month or something.

@Sandra good idea -
I had already thought I may make a block to make up the number as one of the earlier ones I don't like and don't really want to use it.
Would still like some guidance though and will, of course, follow any new BOM you post  :thumbsup:

I don't know if you've browsed through the 2017 and 2018 BOMs, Bjay - you will have all the instructions you need and may find something you really fancy.

Good idea...And if any of them are smaller than a 12 inch finished block, maybe put a border around it to get it up to size? I seem to remember them being various sizes.
 
I really liked the card trick one....I've just checked that one and it's finished size was nine and half inches. That ought to be easy to enlarge to get it to 12" finished.

Anyway...don't stress Imi. It's lovely what you've done for us so far. It's less lovely if you've been left close to tears because of it.

Oh I'll be alright Ladies and Ive completed One Block for you to make come September  :devil: 

That folded corners looks good, all to do with fabric placement to get the effect but simple enough ...
Panic not ... There will be the final Piecing to do come September 1st

and I may just challenge the Bravest of you to make Fu Man Chu's fiendish Puzzle block (Aka the Satanic Block)

Mwahaha  :devil:

Can't wait - I think :thinking:

I won't be here for a few days at beginning of September so hopefully all problems will be sorted and I can sail through it when I return!
