Quilter's Haven 2018-2019 Block of the Month Club - May 2019
Sew Simple Northern Lights Sampler
One Hour Glass Block
Two Geese Blocks
We are nearing the home stretch ... so close to finishing all of the individual blocks! I really like the design of this month's larger block, and I like how the color turned out against my lighter background better than the way it looked against the black. It was so ORANGE, but now it is softer. The design was pretty easy and used techniques that we have already incorporated into other blocks. Easy-peasy!
I ended up setting it aside for a month before I came back to it. As I was about to start my fifth go-round, I also decided that I'd rather change the color to the brighter pink with purple flecks that we used for the nine-patch blocks. This one is still not lined up perfectly, but I decided I am either just going to have to live with it or I am going to have to do a different block for this one. I hung it on my wall, and I am going to look at it for a while to see how much it bugs me every I walk by it. If it irks me too much, I will change it to a different block. If not, I am putting it in as-is.

The small blocks is where the trouble came in. I The green one turned out okay over all, but the second dark magenta block was a thorn in my side! I took it apart at least four times because every time one piece just didn't line up. So frustrating. I measured the seams. I measured the pieces. Everything measured out correct, but for some reason I just could not sew this piece correctly.
