The fourth Blockhead block came out last week – it’s called Cat’s Cradle. And you know a certain someone was just thrilled about that
It involved the making of Half Rectangle Triangles. Which was a new skill for me. It seemed tricky at first, so I was pleased as punch when I ended up with eight lovely little pieces that looked just perfect.
That is, until I got them all together and on the block.
That orange is supposed to reach to the very edge of the centre block, making a perfect border. But.. it appears I skipped the whole section on how to trim them properly. I was supposed to leave more white on the bottom outside of each piece… but I treated them list Half Square Triangles and trimmed the right to perfect corners…. oops.
Hopefully I can find some time before the next block on Wednesday to rip it out and fix it.

Well, live and learn!!!! It so often happens on flying geese when you forget to leave that 1/4″ at the point!

I would have never known to do that. At least you know what you have to do to fix them! Love the picture of LBB in his cradle. I’d like to give him a huge hug. He looks very huggable today.
Blessings,

Really like the colours, and how the heck did LBB allow such a gaff?
No treats for him!

That was something I would have done too. Not only can I not sew a straight seam, I can’t trim worth beans either and directions? Who needs ’em, right? Lol….
