Sneaky Peeky...

I did another trial run of my block tonight. It is the 3rd choice of block and 2nd trial run of my final choice! I was very concerned as the first blocks I just couldn't get them to 12 1/2" even though I was working from a pattern. I checked everything so I really do not know where it all went wrong.

Anyhoo, finally I am happy. It takes a little bit of pull to get it to 12 1/2" but I have done a dummy run and sewn it to other pieces of fabric and it comes out at 12" when sewn all together. PHEW!! Now to unpick it all and send it back to the lovely Kirsty who has organised the RR for us EB Newbie Quilters.

I now feel confident enough to start cutting into other people fabrics! I might wait until tomorrow though when I am not feeling so tired!

So, here it is ... a sneaky peek of my block in my fabric for the round robin.
