Block 10 (kind of)
This is supposed to be Block 10 of the jelly roll sampler quilt along that I’m participating in but it didn’t quite turn out like the “Strippy Flower Block” (by Kari Ramsay of Fresh Cut Quilts) it is supposed to be. If I had followed along with the visual aid (aka pictures) I would have been ok but alas I did not. Please do not call the quilting police since I’m off to visit my parents it will have to be “redone” in a few weeks.
I could make this a design opportunity for a funky throw pillow ? or just use it to practice free motion quilting?
