Done with v. 3

Here is the block I've been enjoying the past couple of days. Added the borders on 3 sides and then had to run and pick up kids. I like the angles on the dark aqua color.

The completed block with much fussing along the way. I think I like the final product. something is still not quite there but I am satisfied enough. I ripped out several tries before coming up with this.


All three blocks together, though not in order. Third, first, second. I am going to take off the left and bottom sides of block one and add larger pieced blocks that won't cause havoc in the seam allowance
.

Project Improv v.3

So I've been cleaning and not much else for the past week. First on my list now that I'm sewing again is the block for this project. I love diamonds and decided try number 3 should start with a diamond. I like the start but now I'm stuck with the what to do next...hopefully I can finish it tonight and get it mailed off this week.

Project Improv v.1

So this project is kicking my butt! Not having a plan is hard for me. I have made two blocks now and the second is better than the first and hopefully I'll make the third even better. Colorway: Aqua/Red. Challenging but I love the combo. Here are the first two blocks. The first started out well and then...I got too skinny at the edge. I will use this one and now to make another worth sending. I hope that I can send two. Then comes the challenge of an improv piece to coordinate with the new bed quilt in black and green.

Edges are too narrow on this one and

the circle is not perfect enough. I do like the

off-set angle and the striped fabric.

This one is better but I got a little too straight

when I got out of the inside wonkiness. I do like

the little 4 patch on the border.
