Oops!

It all was going so well. I was feeling so smug. No templates were being used in this block, and I'd started extra early (Tuesday) so I'd be ready to reveal my two Farmer's Wife blocks on Friday. Maybe I would even get them posted before Cindy did. I used all the right tools, I thought....plus my little ole' noggin' to figure out the math involved to avoid those blasted template things.
I pressed and admired. Then, I measured. Ooops! Uhhh....ya. That's not quite 6.5 inches square, Carla.
Where did I go wrong!? It must have been that Pink Chef lady that helped me figure it all out....she's always getting things mixed up. Yep. That must be it! 
I guess I'll go back to trimming on my Super Secret Project and hope that Pink Lady doesn't show up again tomorrow!

  4. Oh my~ the block is beautiful, even though it's the wrong size. Good luck with the next one! I'm sure you'll figure out a use for the darling pink/blue one!

  5. I'd add a border, square it up and call it good! Remember, you're "modern", so you could delete this post and claim it was intentional!

  6. I'm sure the Pink Lady has good intentions, kind of like Amelia Bedelia. Don't be too hard on her.

  8. So sorry about that! That's how I ended up making my one of a kind quilt out of my 2 pineapple mistakes. I'm sure it will find a good home in something :).
