Been so busy and once I had finished reports, well the first stage of reports - I decided to catch up on some sewing. May Craftsy BOM was first on the list.
First was to fussy cut a center for the block.
It is a log cabin block - and I love log cabin blocks.
This is the finished block - well......................
I wasn't so happy with it, so went back to the instructions.
Yes..instructions - and I read them incorrectly. So back to the sewing machine.
So this time I did it according to the instructions.
...and it looks much better.
The second May block was named a wonky log cabin.
I actually made the two blocks at the same time. I used each one as an anchor cloth the other.
This block is more like a crazy patch block and it would have been better if I had used more irregular shapes like a crazy patch.
I like it, but may re-do it later as a real crazy patch.
This is my anchor cloth. I have always used an anchor cloth and feel it helps with each end of the block pieces and tends to stop stitches falling out.
Happy sewing.
The first block is really nice. I didn't come so far either. But it inspires to take up the pieces.

I was thinking I should make one of each block in the original colours i chose, and then make 9 of the same block in different colours to make a lap quilt. The block are easy and a lap quilt could be made quickly.
