Nice and it doesn't look half as complicated as October. Thank you, now off to look for fabric - probably back to the blues and greens.

It felt quicker but I prefer the other method as much less waste produced, it didn’t seem that necessary to me.

Ok, Each to their own, they both produced marvellous results within the block.
I liked it because they really were spot on and cutting the material smaller than the designer suggested saved on the waste.

Because it’s accurate and quick I think it’s very good if not very confident and nervous about trying patchwork. I’m planning to get my Mum to give it a go as she’s wanting to get into sewing more but doesn’t know what to start with.

Here's mine - needs a proper press.
The BOM exercise has taught me that I categorise HSTs as evils to be done only when necessary. So I cheated (is it cheating?) and did flying geese instead. In my defence m'lud I could only access it on my Kindle and couldn't print from there anyway.
