I really got out of my comfort zone here in attempting Ben's Bowtie (H10). I followed some instructions from a website and am not really happy with the result but I guess we'll see later down the track. This block took me ages to complete. When I looked at the instructions, I thought it couldn't be too difficult. Well once I'd done the corner pieces, I was flabergasted...the instructions then told me to cut them down to 1 1/4" blocks - I had to cut them down signficantly.
I had read somewhere not to be too hung up on the precision piecing - that it is better to jump in and actually finish a block. I struggle with this concept....however look...I finished it. The block may look a bit better when I've squared it up.
