Really like the red spot center piece.<br />I think the only challenge with the block will be for everyone tohave an accurate scant 1/4" seam so the blocks end up the same size.<br />At a Marti Michelle lecture - with Catherine and Jackie in Birmingham - she told us how to check your 1/4". Accurately cut 3 1 1/2" short strips. Sew them together, press and measure the finished width of the middle strip. It should be EXACTLY 1" all the way along. Some machines are prone to swooping off at the end. If it is not exact, repeat the process adjusting how you judge your 1/4" as necessary. Marti said if she has not sewn for a few days she will retest herself before starting - I confess I don't go to this extreme but probably should retest at least once a year or so. Good luck, J.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844423157041075856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9118788318986939241.post-26798680051588181092012-05-09T07:22:20.878-07:002012-05-09T07:22:20.878-07:00Love the fabrics Jenny, can't wait to see them...Love the fabrics Jenny, can't wait to see them in real life.
