Block 10...oops!!!

I took a day off work today (as "annual leave") so I could do some sewing. I started the day by making 2 pairs of pillowcases for a personal swap with two dear friends, so I can't show you them yet, but I also made Block 10 from the Fat Quarter Shop's BOM.

BUT!! I didn't realise that I had cut the 2 big rectangles 1/2" short... and this would have to be from a fabric that hasn't been in any blocks before, so I couldn't re cut it from the extras, so I decided to cut another 1/2" off the bottom and add a red bottom. The block is called "All wrapped up in tinsel"...so mine has tinsel on the bottom too! LOL!



Until next post..
