Unable to follow directions!!
inverting triangles happens often to me with PP - think about it this
way - it is an original design now! Unclbennie wrote: OK, when I was a kid, the teachers used to say, "you can't follow directions!! What is going to become of you??? We will have to put this in your PERMANENT RECORD!!" So, fast forward many years, I STILL can't follow directions!! I took my other sister shopping with me yesturday, had her pick a pattern, she found a magazine called Quilt Works Today, she picked "Rocky Road to Kansas", not a hard block, pretty quilt, so I bought the magazine, I bought fabric and figured I'd use some of my stash. Last night I oh, so carefully cut out all the blocks, even followed the paper piecing directions (SO I THOUGHT!!) I made the points upside down!! The solid material is supposed to be the shorter triangle, the stripes the longer part of the paper pieces, so that the solids all come together in the middle. So, my centers are all different colors, and the points are solid. Oh well, I guess this IS a rocky road to Kansas. Since I cut out 120 paper pieces, and cut a bunch of material into strips, I'm just going to keep going with this and see what happens. :-) Not sure if this post makes any sense, later I'll post a picture of a couple of the blocks, I think I'll stop for now and go to my brothers for a barbeque.
