It's not a big something nor a finished project. It's just a finished block but it is from a BOM which means that I'm caught up so far on THAT BOM. Now to just get caught up on a couple of others. I finished last night block 5 of the Civil War BOM that is offered by Custom Quilt Kits.
This is pieced and you know what that means. It means there is a story behind it. I'm sure this block has a "historical" story but my stories won't be historical until many years to come. Instead my stories are usually "hysterical". This one had me wanting to curse at it but I knew I could do it. Oh, before I forget....I am enjoying learning to piece with these blocks so don't take what I say to mean I'm not enjoying it. I just enjoy it more when it doesn't give me hassles.
See the green section? That's in the upper right corner. I like that corner. You know why I like that corner? It went together the first time I sewed it and I didn't have to rip it out. All the other sections of it I had to rip out at least once. The red section got ripped out 3 times. The last time right before I sewed it to another section because it just didn't look right. The blue section got ripped out, put back together, ripped out again and resewn again because I discovered I was right the first time around. The yellow section HST were sewn three times. I kept dropping them and just didn't them lined up right and sewed the wrong sections together. I persevered and block 5 is now finished. There is one or two blocks that I would like to resew but I don't think I can because a) not having the fabric and b) what I do have is too thread bare now to take out one more time.
That's ok. It's a learning process. :)
