Penultimate Day 8

We were a bit nervous about this block, which the designer rated as ‘intermediate‘, but it turned out to be fine.

A little color coding (lots of color changes on every pattern piece), some careful pin placement at the tricky bits (mainly around the head), and we Teena was done in 3 hours. 

Color coding saves my sanity

Mine took another half hour since I had to redo one piece FOUR TIMES before I got it right. Sheesh.

We’re taking tomorrow off for Real Life, getting together again on Wednesday to work on the last block. We probably won’t do the last Winter Wonderland pattern (I may do it later), we’ve tentatively picked a Christmas wreath FPP as our final(ish) block before we start up again in January.

This has been fun!
