Hello Quilters

I need to make a correction on the Garden quilt top. I was saying 12 half squares when I should of been saying flying geese in each block. I was thinking flying geese but saying half-squares. Sorry about that. Has anyone else done this before, saying one thing but meaning something else?? Oh well, there will always be days like that.

Been taking my time sewing the blocks together which takes little over hour and 15 minutes for each block. What takes so much time is my tying all those strings. I now have 9 out of 30 blocks done. I am slow like a turtle but will make it to the finish line eventually. Laughing here.

Here is the problem I had when sewing on those little squares, when you back stitch in those corners,(making flying geese or half squares) then if you try to take out your stitches, it messes up the corners and they look chewed, so usually have to cut a new square, so for me it is just easier to hand tie these corners. It takes longer but well worth it. If I was sewing a dress there would be no problem back stitching.
