Is just that -
Testing -
For TWO things -
1 - To see if I CAN -
and/or -
2 - To see if I WANT TO -
Make a new block -
If I CAN - without a bunch of hassle -
Then it's usually a matter of whether or not I WANT to -
And - in this case -
I CAN - but NOT without a bunch of hassle -
So -
I DON'T WANT TO - LOL - ;))
I re-sewed the first four test blocks -
And they all came out the correct size -
But the pre-cuts are not cut accurately -
And I had trouble getting them to "measure up" - LOL -
And - since I got that far -
I did the next step on one block -
And "snowballed" one corner -
I am not a fan of cutting squares and drawing lines -
So that part was a chore -
And it didn't come out right the first time -
So I had to re-do it -
And - the chances of both "snowballed" corners matching -
When I set two blocks together -
Are probably slim to none -
These pre-cuts are not the best for "precision" piecing -
And I'm not in the mood to futz with each and every seam -
Life is too short - LOL -
So -
I un-sewed them all -
Into pairs of strips -
And will check some other patterns -
To see if I can salvage what I have already cut -
I have a couple of possible pattern "maybes" in mind -
So we'll see where I go from here - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Ha ha.... now you know why I like random piecing with no seams to match.
I don't like "snowballing" either, but my Angler tool helps a lot be eliminating needing to draw lines. A little fussy to get set up, but if you're going to be losing a lot of corners, waaaaaay faster than the pencil method! But with the other troubles it seems this point is moot. Ah well, on to the next thing!
