Civil War Block #23

Here ya go...  it looked pretty good til I saw the photo...  need to work on lining up stuff better.


19.  Missouri Star



Oh well... practice makes semi-perfect!

The camera thing happened again... when I posted the photo, I looked at the block and thought... I KNOW I lined up those intersections with a pin, how could I have gotten SO off?


I looked closely at the actual block and realized that pressing a block while tired can lead to pressing errors.   I re-pressed the block and now it looks like this...




Still not perfect but better, I think!


A special thanks to my friend from The 4 Bushel Farm for reminding me that imperfections are "all part of the charm that handmade quilts have!"
