Lesly's "Le Soleil"

Such a fun little block to make and such sweet fabric.  The sun came out in all its bright glory while I was making this

block so I'm calling it "Le Soleil."  It squared up nicely, too.  I'll put it in the mail tomorrow, Lesly.

I didn't have a very good time with Claudia's Ohio Star.  (shameful since I've made a ton of them in the past AND I'm originally from Ohio).  Where was the sun?  I swear I took my time cutting the pieces, got all of the triangle points together, nice and crisp,  pressed them, and went to sew them to the 4.5" corner and ...

gosh, be darn, drats, crud and other choice words.  

The sewn triangles were an inch smaller than the corner pieces.  Now, how did that happen?  duh.  I just know I must be the only math challenged person in the group who can't count out the difference between 4.5" and 3.5".  

 Claudia answered my confession e-mail so I'm thinking she forgives me.

Returned!

Lydia's block was returned to me by the Post Office stamped "Unclaimed" on the envelope.  Lydia, dear Lydia, I can't find your e-mail and your Blog is gone when I click on the link.  Would you please e-mail me so I can re-send your block to you?

DEE:  Did you get your block yet?  You should have it by now.

LESLY:  Your fabric hasn't arrived yet.  Did you send it to my new address?

Got 'er done!

Here's mine for Jessica - done at last, the right size and everything! Huzzah! It's going in the mail on Monday!
Now, bring on February - what have you got for us, Jennifer?
