I printed out the pdf instructions from the Aurifil site, had a good look at them and decided that I could make the sections using alternative methods. There is a good method for making four flying geese blocks at once, with no waste, here, so I thought I would give it a try. I also made use of this tutorial to make eight Half Square Triangles at once, too. So far so good. When I came to assemble my units I couldn't get my block to look like this. I'd obviously done something wrong.
Of course, I'm using different fabrics and colours to the ones listed in the tutorial, and I got confused when I transposed my own fabrics and cut some pieces in the wrong fabric. Instead of remaking the units I re-arranged my units in a way that would work, and I've come up with this.
Can you see where I went wrong?
Now I have a dilemma. Is this already a known block, or have I designed a new one? If you know the answer to this please let me know.
Looks good to me you havemade your own block now.
