I finished by Craftsy Block of the month project, well almost finished I still have six more star blocks to do. This center piece has given me a considerable amount of grief. I got the January part all done as far as the red border. When I went to put on the dogtooth border it was too large. I started doing some measuring and discovered I had made the hour glass, yes all fifteen of them, 1/2 inch too small. I fumed and tried a couple of ideas trying to rescue it, which of course did not work. I ended up remaking it to the proper size. Amazing what 1/2 an inch repeated 15 times can do to a pattern.
I figured I would just toss the original one, but realized it might make a perfect small table runner.
And here it is. Cute little item, which would have been a shame to toss. Just goes to show that first of all it is really important to read the direction carefully, and when a project doesn't work it might not be such a problem after all.
Well this project, at least January and February's is finished so I am linking up with.
and
super cute!!
