Well, I finally did it

I finally made my block for the project. It took me some time to even choose the fabrics and colours. Thankfully I had the benefit of opinions from 2 other quilters.

This is my second attempt. The first try was good enough for me to keep but I didn't feel it was my best work. I wanted the middle square to be, well square. Having a square block is pretty important in quilting. It's part of the whole 'patience is a virtue' thing. I think my block is humanly, perfectly square ;)

I have to thank my daugther for really nudging me to get out of my comfort zone. The block that I made is called TWIST. I got it from my favourite pattern site.

What I love about Marcia's site is how organized it is. Twist is a block rated 2 push pins. 1 push pin would be a beginner block. My daughter really encouraged me to give this one a try because I really liked it. Lo and behold it worked.

We are capable of success when we are encouraged, aren't we?
