Have you ever had that 'Why did I bother' day?
And here is block 1 with the borders.
I did today. I wanted to finish block 2 of 'Breast of Friends' and I really shouldn't have tried. I am hopeless at maths and my apologies to my grade 10 maths teacher when I scoffed at her as she told me that I needed to know how to add up fractions because one day I might need them. Well today I needed to add up and nothing worked. I was sure I wasn't that dumb..........................HA!!! I am............lol With the help of Rose , a panic call to Pauline and an email to Homespun................................the block finally worked. Thanks to Roses good maths everything added up......................lol I took a deep breath and finished it. What should have taken 30mins to complete took me 2hrs. Oh well, here it is........
And here is block 1 with the borders.
After this I am going to stick to sewing clothes, dolls and bags................No more quilts........................hmmmm.
Enjoy your evening

I am really not good at maths myself, and often struggle with it.
Your blocks look great though by the way! Even after all that effort!
Your blocks look great. Glad they worked out in the end. Hope you feel like doing some more soon. You will have a delightful quilt.
