I struggled with Carolyn's flying geese, I did. To the point that this morning I put them in the post with some extra treats and a promise to do it again, properly, in a few weeks. Well, it kept me awake last night. So, today I took the bull by the horns, or the geese by the beak and did it again. Slower and in a locked room with no distractions. And it worked. So here we have my May block for Carolyn. Take 2.
It measures 16.5" all round instead of 17.5" and a bit.
I have all of the points all of the time instead of some of the points some of the time.
I am happy.
I can sleep easy.
My work here is done.
Until next months, I mean this month.
And I can honestly say I am a definitely a #bravequilter, a la Julie and her Pink Doxies. In fact, I will try to be a #bravequilter in June too and join Julie's campaign. This time I will master a mitred corner with a Y seam.

ReplyDeleteYou Rock, Helen.
ReplyDeleteYay congratulations! That looks lovely :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Helen Jean. Roll on the Y seams!
ReplyDeleteYay!! You did it! Now let that block fly away :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations it is beutiful!!! Look forward to your Y-seam piece.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes spend more time ripping than sewing a block, so I totally get this. So glad you're joining Brave Quilter. Y-seams. You really are brave!
ReplyDeleteHelen, , You did well! I'm proud of you sticking to your guns with these geese. I'm also looking forward to seeing your mitred borders the first part of July. I know you'll ace them, but even if they're not perfect like these geese, the point is to try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with #BraveQuilter.

You must be really pleased with this block - sometimes all it takes is a closed door and enough time to think and you wonder why it was so hard the first time! Good luck for your June challenge!
