One of the tasks on yesterday's long honey-do list was to make a 9-patch star block. It probably should have only taken 20 minutes.
I was modifying the directions to use the easy angle ruler and using a chart from Bonnie to make square in square blocks. Once I finally got the fabrics selected (the hardest part because it's for "someone else") I zipped together the SIS blocks and went to trim them a little when I realized they were all way off. That's really strange because Bonnie's method is very accurate. I reread the cutting chart several times before I realized the directions actually pertained to the finished size. I've taken them partially apart, trimmed the center piece and will put them back together tonight. Ughhhhh...
Good luck with your blocks, that is always irritating when you misread the directions.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when that happens. Some patterns say "Finished block Size" and some just say "block size" and I always wonder whether I am interpreting it correctly.
ReplyDeleteI freaking re-did my blocks- the last one multiple times!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely need some direction!
Ditto what Janet says. Ergh. :)
