I love doing spur of the minute projects – although it helps when I actually follow the instructions, but then it just wouldn’t be one of my projects if I didn’t switch something…

This weekend I joined a flicker group that steps in where other BUZZZZZZZZZy BEEEEEEEEEs have not fulfilled their commitment. I love these type of things because it’s a quick request and I don’t have too much time to think about it and procrastinate!!!  My worst trait is procrastination, and best gift – I do some of my best work under pressure.

The block is a 6″ Paintbox Quilt Block – instructions can be found here: http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/2010/01/paintbox-quilt-along-how-to-make-classic-blocks.html

So in my grand tradition I messed them up.

First I cut the solid strips the wrong width, but this could have been fixed so easily if only I would have done the math correctly. So the solid strips started out too big and ended up too small. Good Grief. Only the ones on the far right are correct.

I guess I’ll have to find some more fabric and redo the other ones.
