Do you share your “fails”? Normally that is hard for me and I am trying not to be self deprecating! But I learn from most of my mistakes so that is a good thing!
My first attempt at Tiny Tuesday's wonky star was way past wonky, it was weird!
See how the points in the 2 squares don’t meet in the middle? And there is minimal contrast! Yuk!
Second try!
Better I think! I’ll keep the weird one and add it to the back or make an inside pocket in a bag or something!
I also did a few more Shoo Fly Shoo Blocks. Cause you have to do the red, white and blue one while it’s still July! I find it’s interesting that the pinkish block looks different than the R,W,B block and the black ,tan and purple block. I think it looks different anyway, Mr. Busy says they are the same!
Different perspectives, I guess.

Nothing else is finished or even almost finished. I did make potato salad in anticipation of our son's visit. Also a batch of his favorite cookies, a rhubarb custard cake with some gifted rhubarb and I chopped some zucchini for use at a later date.
Thursday, our granddaughter and her two littles came over to visit and play with Uncle Scott! We had a good time, but boy do they wear me out!
So Stay Busy and Stay Happy
I'll also link up with Cynthia at Oh Scrap!
I really like your star with the pink background, Judy! Sometimes you don't know how something's going to look until you try it. I think these tiny blocks definitely need good contrast between the background and the little pieces that make up the design. Sounds like you're enjoying your son's visit!
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear you are still going to give that imperfect block a place to shine. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI shared my "fail". That first piggy block of mine was messy looking so I had to redo it. I was also thinking that piggy #1 would reside on the back. Lesson learned, right?
ReplyDeleteI think ALL of your PINK blocks look good! Wonky-wonky is fine. (To me) It's OK if the points don't meet in the middle.
