Number Ten

 

Moda Blockheads block ten.  Such an easy block.  For me, so much redoing and ripping.

It started with different fabric choices.  There is probably a reason for following the directions in order.  And for cutting all the pieces before beginning to sew.

I pieced the center block first instead of last, just wanting to get motivated, and then the little triangle blocks didn't look nice with it at all.  Then the fabrics I picked for the four large triangle blocks, which should have been made first, didn't look good with the little triangles and center block.

And then piecing everything together - I got the little triangle blocks in the wrong orientation time and time again.  No reason, other than just zoning out.  Which led to the little triangle blocks starting to fray and needing to be resewn and repressed at the ends.

In the end, of course, it's my favorite block so far.  And I don't know whether it's just prettier or because I worked on it so long.
