Actually, I don't mind curves ...

Not easy but once I'd got into the swing of it, they came together okay:

Sew the pairs together:

Then into halves:

Make into a square:

Iron the seams open (I don't usually) and it makes it lie much nicer:
Appliqué the centre circle and this is the finished block:

D'you know - for a first attempt, Im going to say this is 'good enough' - infact not bad at all. And my glass is empty so that's enough sewing for tonight ;)

I don't like curves ...

And I have to do 8 of these and sew them together to a finished 6 1/2" block so they're a bit small too. I also have 'sausage' fingers so the pinning is tricky and painful!!


Only one thing for it ... going to have to drink through this ordeal:

Well, it is Friday night!! ;)
