I had a lot of trouble with this card from the Block of the Day collection. All the small pieces went together well but joining those small pieces was a nightmare! I got Pat involved when I couldn’t figure out the math; in the end we gave up. I decided to put the pieces together and if I lost my points or if it was a crazy size I’d be okay with it.

It turned out to be just an inch larger than it should have been, finishing at 6″ square, and most of my points were fine.

As it turns out this is a tessellation pattern – something the instructor at the quilting retreat in France has a whole book on! I also plan to take the pattern to the Guild demo on drafting – I think there might be some help there too.

I’m not proud of the quilting job on this, but it is what it is.
