Arrghhh

I decided I wanted a quick hand piecing project, so I cut out all these cute little squares. Then, I thought "Well hey,I've never done on point settings before". So I tried that out. All was well until I sewed the rows of assembled squares together. I don't know if I marked the squares wrong, or made the triangles the wrong size, but that quilt isn't even almost square. I don't think everything has to necessarily perfect, but this little bugger was just wrong.

So, I'm going to piece a single Irish Chain pattern that I stared a while back but put aside. I'm doing it on the machine, andthe squares and 9 patches are simple but after the mini quilt fiasco, I need simple. Plus, I love the fabric I chose for it so I always feel in a better mood after looking at it.

On the upside, I am recovering from the horrible cold I've had the past week. Yay!!
