This adorable little block went together with very little trouble at all until it was time to sew the sub-units together. It did take me quite awhile to figure out the placement of each little unit. Thankfully, there wasn't someone standing by with a timer!! At one point, I thought there was something wrong with the paper-piecing pattern or that I had placed one of the pieces of fabric in the wrong place. I also blamed my difficulty on the fact that I had not slept one wink the night before....oh...I do like to make excuses! Angela from soscrappy posted the same block earlier this week and she had the same trouble I did so I feel I was definitely in good company. As she stated there was no assembly information included in the instructions - I think it was definitely a brain-builder. This block is also known as Winged Square and I used a pink fabric with little blue flowers. I am happy with the way it turned out.

I have decided to use this block for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge this week because I was away visiting my big sister Glenda instead of working on the pink log cabin blocks I had planned. It was really good to spend time with Glenda. I stayed over at her place on Thursday night and I didn't get home until about 9 last night. We spent quite a bit of our time chatting and we also visited some local second hand shops. Definitely time well spent!!

Cute block! Glad you had a good visit with your sister. I'll bet you got a bunch of hand sewing in while you were with her.
Great block. Glad to know it is a brain buster, encase I go to do it and have trouble.
Wow! I'm impressed!! Been scratching my head over a couple of DJ blocks today so I know just how you feel.
Lucky you having a sister to visit... wish I had one ;o( Just kidding!! Hope you found something nice at the second hand shops.
WOW!! That's a lot of little tiny triangles!!! Very impressive.
I LOVE them Ellen!! :o) Those tiny triangles look complicated, but I will take your word for it. Maybe b/c they're just so tiny! All of your blocks are adorable! xo
Hi Ellen
I just love your little midget blocks! They are just so cute but certainly a challenge! Love sis
So glad you were able to puzzle together your midget block. It doesn't seem like that little one should have been quite so hard, but I sat working it out for ages as well. you already have a nice little collection going.
WOW! This looks tricky! Good idea to link your Midget project with the RSC. I'm doing that with my Dear Jane blocks this month too... picking out the ones I want to do in Pink.
Glad you enjoyed your visit with your sister and visiting second hand shops is so much fun with company. :)
