Bordered Square in a Square Block

As you can see, I do learn. My lovely flower is centered beautifully in the middle of my block. Even so, this block bugs me. The lady bugs are supposed to be marching around the block counter clockwise, but I used all of my “pay attention” on getting the flower just ‘sew’ and that’s why the lady bugs at the top of the block are facing the wrong direction. I could take it apart and turn them around, but as scrappy as this quilt is going to be, the direction of one little strip of lady bugs really isn’t going to make much difference.

So far, this is my favorite block. The flowers … the colors … perfection. Third block squared away.

Or she could be cooking, taking photographs, or even writing. But if she's not doing any of that, she's probably on Facebook or tinkering with her blog.

    1. Thank you. I actually didn’t realize the lady bugs were marching the wrong way until someone else pointed it out to me. I decided that as far as mistakes go, this one is too minor to stress over.
