You'll notice that my fabrics are totally different from the ones in the pattern. I never make anything in knitting, crocheting, or sewing that is exactly like a pattern. My curiosity always leads me to use other fabrics or yarns. And you know how easily I get bored, so why do something the way it's already been done?
These are early days here. I think I can finish up the blocks today. My sewing hasn't improved unfortunately. I'm afraid this is as good as it's ever going to get. We have a few blocks that look wonky to me, but not terribly so, and I do have lots of fabric if I need to substitute a block. But I'm having a grand time playing, and I'm never entering anything in any competition, so it's all fine with me. The Hubbo likes what I do, not that he's any judge of my abilities.
And that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Scrabblequeen - I kinda like it too. I sewed the first row together and by golly, most of those little points came together. 5 more rows to go and then sew the entire thing together. Then I have to pick out a border or two and such. I really really like doing this.
LivvyLove - I love to use different color schemes than what was originally used.

I really like the colors you used. I can't wait to see the finished product! Good luck!
