If you don't succeed the first time...
Try, try again :) Smile!

The first Balkan Puzzle block I made
measured out nearly 1/8" if you will off
on one side!?! Arg! I couldn't believe it?
I am if you will a perfectionist as my girls say
a careful sewer...not that I do not make mistakes,
(I have a basket full) well, blocks for another "use"
however I  carefully measured & sewed these together?
Huh?
So...even thou Samantha graciously said
"Oh that will be okay",
I said to my daughters "I'd better try again"! Smile!
So...I re-did my pattern, cut measured all the exact same....
HELLO! Perfect!
Thank you Lord I said ....just right?
Who knows what I did but..
Both are tucked in the envelope & on the way!
Thanks Samantha for being so kind...
now you pick the color you like best!
Enjoy them both & thanks for the October swap!

 This is the second block...in both blocks the colors are much brighter than they look here.

 This is the
"STAR BLOCK" that Samantha sent me...she added a boarder as well for size! Funny how that went.
Thanks Samantha! I love the colors :)

 

Awesome block from Samantha

Samantha sent me this awesome block.

My design wall is full but here it is next to one of my other blocks I have received.

Sneak peek for Samantha in Washington

Samantha wanted soft blues and pinks and ivory.  I hope she likes my modern fabrics with this tradional block.
