Xob Otneb -

The plan for today was to finish the repeats for this block -

Now that I have my "system" down pat - LOL -

Press the two on the left -
Finish the one under the needle -

Stitch these up -

And continue on with those on the left for the next set of blocks -

All ready for the top piece -

Sewn on -

Pressed -
And ready to be sewn into half blocks -

But WAIT!!! -

It's BACKWARDS!! -

It's NOT a "Bento Box" -

It's a "Xob Otneb" - LOL - ;))

It should look like THIS!!-

In the photo below -
The one on top is what a LIGHT QUARTER block SHOULD look like -
And the LEFT one is what mine SHOULD look like -

But my "Xob Otneb" looks like the one on the RIGHT - and it's WRONG -

The FIRST piece - that little two patch - on the BOTTOM LEFT - is UPSIDE DOWN -
And I messed up BOTH sets -
Light AND dark TIMES SIX - UGH!! -

BOB - I thought you had your "system" down pat!! -
ME - I DID - yesterday - but I've slept since then - LOL - ;))

So Jack (my seam ripper) and I spent the afternoon together -
And we un-sewed them all - more quality time with my good friend - LOL -

Then we started over -

And laid them all out again the way they were supposed to go -

And sewed them together - like the top two -

There - MUCH BETTER - ;))

NOTE TO SELF - Pay attention!! -
It's a "simple" block - but don't get careless -
It's also VERY EASY to mess up - turn one piece upside-down -
Or sew something to the wrong side - and look what happens - LOL -
Leave a couple of the EXTRA ones out - for reference -
So you can compare them to what you're doing - as you go along -
And be glad you caught it before you did them ALL that way - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
