Oh hey..you can see my poor, dancer's toes. This is what growing up in toe shoes does, dear readers.
I finally caved and made a Granny Square (two if you count my practice block). I'm a slight bit addicted.
I'm actually really proud 'cause I was able to not mess up the math to scale that block up to 12.5"
I'm sure you've noticed that the outside squares aren't trimmed down. After I managed to cut a seam *and* a hole trimming down my practice block I thought my luck shouldn't be tested.
Now that I think about it, I really don't know what was up with that. Bet I need a new blade.
The other block I was going to make was a London Square but I found myself 6" short on fabric. So instead I used Jenna's awesome tutorial for a Diamond Peek-a-Boo block.
It was a great block to put together. I was worried about the triangles but since they started as squares, we got along just fine.
I'm sure you remember this atrocity block.
Katy @ I'm a ginger monkey has been hosting the fabulous Swoon Along. With that came an Ugly Swoon contest.
And I won.
I've never been so proud to make something so terrible to look at.
Some Pezzy Love is now on it's way to me.
So. Excited.
