Boy did I struggle with this one. Cut and ripped so many times. Then I thought I had it and I did a perfect job. As I looked closer my fabrics didn't match! Argh. I think I will leave it anyway. Probably won't make much of a difference in the long run
The instructions weren't simple for me. I had to rewrite it for my brain.

Meegwat, it really won’t make any difference. Look at it from across the room—it is fine.

Meegwat,
I really like your block. It is charming. It is lively and has a lot of interest.

I made my Shoo Fly blocks. I thought that they came out really well, but then I realized that I had the small 4 patches oriented in random directions and not perpendicular to the center square. Will that be a problem going forward? Should I take the blocks apart and redo them? If I leave these 2, should I do the remaining 7 with the orientation perpendicular or should I let the orientation be random? I'm just not sure what the overall look will be from the picture. thanks for the help

I think as busy as the quilt is, it won't matter in the end. If it bothers you, now would be the time to fix it, or do all of them like these two. I like to look at instructions more as guidelines, and not set in stone that is HAS to be a certain way. In the end this is YOUR quilt, so you get to decide if you want to take some liberties in following exactly the instructions or do your own thing.

Ok, so I started cutting and sewing for Afternoon delight. I gave some thought and went ahead and cut 40 8 inch squares for the applique blocks. Then I started with one shoo fly block and to my amazement....it came out at 7 1/4" . Having a little party here. I have vowed this year to sew out of my stash. It has to be done sometime and I don't want some one else to enjoy my stash, lol. I'm not sure how far it will go, but I imagine until September or so.Comment

I am a bit OCD so I went ahead and finished all 9 blocks. Now starting on the 4 applique blocks, I will machine applique them.Comment
