Victory!

The plan seemed simple enough. Combine this fabric

and this block design

to make a quick(ish), stash-busting quilt. 

First I sewed the pieces together backwards. Or sideways. Or something. Not right, at any rate.

Didn’t notice and made two more blocks.

Put them together on the design wall and thought, “hmmm, that’s odd”. Looked at the original pattern again and said multiple combinations of not-nice words. Loudly.

I really, really didn’t want to rip out the finished blocks. Tried turning them this way - nope -

and this way - still no -

and finally, this way. Victory!

I love it when a plan (finally) comes together.
