I didn't sew much this week but I do have a little bit to show you.
First, what's a sewing session without a blooper? So I started with that!
Got it fix.
Now that that's done and out of the way, the rest of the session should go like a breeze, right? Of course!
Next block for the 365 Challenge is
Then comes October 13, Puss in the Corner.
I looked at the next block for October 14: Bachelor's Puzzle. And I said "NO WAY!"
"NO WAY!"
What does the Bachelor's Puzzle look like, you ask.
It looks like this:
If you know me at all, you know I don't like Y-seams and they don't like me right back. Have you noticed how many Y-seams are in this 3.5 inches block? Look again. Look closely!
Waaaayyyy too many for this little girl. And that's in a 3.5 inches block!
"NO WAY!" I am not doing this one.
So, I went searching for another block.
Kathryn (designer of 365 Challenge) is so considerate of people's different levels of expertise, that she added a few "bonus" blocks during the year and I was smart enough to save them.
Somewhere during the year, it was my birthday, right? (yes, I grew older too even if it doesn't show much, lol) So for this quilt, let's pretend it is October 14, okay?
Who said no?
Oh, com'on, Pink! play along, please? Thank you! :^D
So I picked the Birthday Cake Block.
Ta-Dah!
Much easier. More pieces though but still, they were 29 easy pieces to sew.
Voilà! That's where I'm at.
Oh yes! I did fondle some purple too.
Have a great one.
;^)

I feel your pain!
Fantastic birthday cake ya got there!
I can do y-seams, but at that small scale I'd run and hide, too!
Very pretty...even the blooper block!! Gorgeous progress!
I would have been saying no to that Y seam block too. I like the birthday cake block much better even with its insane number of pieces :)
I thought the blocks in your first photo was a really neat one. What could be wrong with it? Then I saw how it was supposed to go and had to laugh at myself! Your 365 blocks continue to amaze me!
Love the birthday cake block! Such nice piecing.
I don't mind partial seams but I can't comprehend how you can do them at that scale. That is crazy!
Thanks for sharing your lovely blocks with Oh Scrap!
LOVE that scrappy star (and can SEW relate to the Oops!!)
I'm struggling enough with the 4.5" Tiny Tuesday blocks. I don't think I could manage either one of those 3.5" ones. I think it's the fabric fairies who turn those units around and mess up the blocks.

Lots of lovely blocks especially the birthday cake one. xx
You reminded me of the birthday cake block that I did a couple of them, but they look nothing like that one. Every once in awhile I like to do those specialty blocks. I would pass on Bachelor's Puzzle too.
lovely blocks... they all look too hard! haha... so impressive

I applaud your attitude! You stick to it, but are willing to let it go. I love that!
I sew things wrong all the time! sometimes those angles really foul me up.
your little blocks are the cutest.
