Block #2

Heya everyone!

I'm picking my 2nd block today ... since I have a couple minutes, plus I can print it out and go over it on my night shifts a bit to see how hard it is and that.

I'll start my block on either Sat/Sun/Mon morning ... If I can complete it by Monday, I'll think about doing a 3rd block this week! *WOW eh!!

So, the generator gave me ............ 43 ..... and I'm not cheating! I'm typing the number down before I even see the pattern ... lets see my shock! (doing the ... "I hope it's easy, please be easy! Please be easy" chant in my head).... "Sawtooth" ... OMFG it's not any easier than the first! What was I thinking!! BUT! It'll be beautiful I'm sure and worth the challenge. (here's a picture I found of the block some brave soul did ... and she sewed it all! ack!!)

Here's to hoping I can get it done. I'm really really happy I'm not "sewing" these harder pieces together -- I know it's kind of a cop-out, but honestly, I want to enjoy this project, and sewing something this small, and it being *very* new to me in terms of the cuts and placement of fabrics, I'm going with what I know. I'm good at the "paper piecing" part of quilting, so I'll stick to that. By the end of all this, and on some of the more familar blocks, I'll actually use the machine (yes, there are some that I think I can sew!!)

Anyways! I'm off to study this and figure out how much scraps I'll actually need for it.

Thanks for looking!
