I wouldn't call it a failure, but I definitely learnt a few things along the way (my 6 piece pattern turned into 8 pieces as I had not correctly planned the execution side of the design... oops!). What I ended up with was this:

Since I now had two "dud" blocks -my dirty bird and the sleigh, I decided to stick them together to make a pot holder-ish thing.
Thanks to some scrap batting, I was able to whip it together pretty quickly, now it just needs to be bound.
Now back to the drawing board to take my learnings and prove that I can design a paper pieced block!
I just noticed that you've got these already quilted - how does that work with them all going into a quilt together?
ReplyDeleteAs the two blocks were deemed "not worthy" they are not going into the quilt. Instead, I am using them to make a potholder :)
