I quit! I quit! I quit!

rant over...going back to sewing room.

Got all 10 blocks finished this am. Started ironing them and on the second one noticed a flying geese backwards....decided to keep that one for myself after checking the others and all remaining flying geese are flying straight.

Continued ironing and on the last block noticed that I didn't keep track of the 2 different types of background material. So, long story short, only ONE block is right! All remaining blocks will need to be ripped apart and re-sewn to correct the mixed up background pieces.

DH said, I just can't win for losing on this swap!

Jan i notice myself when im doing blocks for swaps im in the hurry trying to get done fast then im missing up on them. Best thing to do is just turn on the music and just some deep breath and sing you heart out no matter it sound like. I been there too. Sarah

Jan your blocks are really pretty. Love the color combo you chose.

Are you sure you really need to do them over......possibly you are the only one that will notice because you are making so many. If ours are a little different from each other, they will blend in as there is only one of this block. Not sure I said that corretly but I think you know what I mean. At least I hope so.

I have them all corrected except for two. Those two I have sewn, ripped and resewn 3 times. The white background is 2 different colors. You can't see it in the pic I posted as that is the oNLY ONE that was right! lol

On the two that still need to be fixed, each block has 3 out of the 4 white/background pieces the same. It is an easy fix, just have to take a breath and rip them again. This time, I won't sew them until I KNOW THEY ARE RIGHT!!!!!

Taking a break. The time seams to be flying today though. I haven't done anything but this since 7:30 this am. I looked at the clock and it was 11:47, then again and it was 1:15. Just now realized it was after 3! Where has the time gone? I've had one cup of coffee, a bowl of cereal and half a hoagie sandwich.....where has the time gone!

Jan I wish i had my cream that i give to DJ last week to finsh her blocks. I have the blue with the flowers. This up to the group too that you pack your blocks up and we can fix them when we get to our blocks to make our quilt. How does that sound to everyone?

carolyn I got your blocks just now and they are wonderful. Thank you for everything else too. Sarah

Jan, I would not take them apart. Send them as is and like Sarah said if we need to fix them we will.

OH NO!!!! I think you've misunderstood, I didn't restart the whole blocks! Lordy! I'm not insane! I had to rip out the pieces that were wrong on one block and put it in the right one. They are all fixed and you will be getting correct blocks. They will be in the mail on Monday, Priority so they should be there within 3 days.
