I think I had to use the seam ripper on every one of the blocks I made.  :facepalm:

@whofilets I just checked my junk mail and they were sitting in there - they look great and I love my block even if it is a duplicate pattern as it uses different fabrics.

I will update the photo albums again tomorrow. I hope to make more progress with blocks this weekend.

There is nothing wrong with simple blocks - this is meant to be fun and skill building for all (while hopefully using up some scraps haha)

I've finished all my blocks!
Except one for @RJR_38 (one of my doubled fabrics) because I like the finished block so much I'm thinking of keeping it!
US to UK, brought all the fabric and yarn with me

I've got 2 more left to do.I have tried some blocks with rulers and everything and they're OK .
 My habit is to just play and cut and stitch. I don't have any block quilts at home - they're all just textile pieces. Once I've got the last two done I'll do the pictures.

Its not, I believe, a race .. as long as you get the set of blocks to RGR before the deadline, its all good!

Some people want to get things done and dusted early doors, others have to fit it in with other things!

You’re not alone, @RJR_38 .  I won’t be starting until school is out.  Two weeks to go.
