After the other day’s disappointing start to the Patchwork Palooza I tried again. This time things went a lot better. I actually got a seam allowance and didn’t need to drag out the Simple Folded Corners** ruler.
The block came out much better the second time. I followed the directions exactly except I did sew a little to the left of the drawn line so the flippy bit covered the whole corner. The flippy corners method is actually a good way to make the block.
I guess I should have trusted the directions the first time out.
I also changed the pink to a lighter one.
Later I was looking for the Wing Clipper ruler and found a Square-in-a-Square ruler** by Studio 180 designs. I have no idea where or when I bought this. Maybe it was a gift? Since Square-in-a-Square blocks are one of my least favorites it seems like a odd choice. Maybe I bought it to use for the Boy Scout Patch quilt that’s lingering on my Dream Projects list.
