This block was such a challenge for me to make!! I had a lot of difficulty aligning the grid in the center of the block and had to redo parts of it over and over and I still couldn't perfect it. Those little squares in the center are not all the same size and not necessarily square either. When I was piecing it together it was so easy to pick up the wrong one or even the right one but get it turned around. There may have been some @#%#$ going on!
Joyfully sharing my quilting journey and other bits and pieces that make up daily life.

Dear Jane - Tic Tac Toe (C-4)
Woohoo....I have another Tiny Tuesday block to show!
This block was such a challenge for me to make!! I had a lot of difficulty aligning the grid in the center of the block and had to redo parts of it over and over and I still couldn't perfect it. Those little squares in the center are not all the same size and not necessarily square either. When I was piecing it together it was so easy to pick up the wrong one or even the right one but get it turned around. There may have been some @#%#$ going on!
As you can see in the photo, the center section is less than 3" square and contains a whopping 21 pieces. No wonder I was having so much trouble - tiny pieces = fumbley fingers.

Oh my... that is very challenging!
You know what--this is YOUR Modern Dear Jane--wonkiness is IN today--and when push came to shove you stuck with it and did it. WOO HOO is right! hugs, Julierose
Congrats on getting it complete.... with the whole quilt no one will notice anything other than - what a really neat block! Great job Ellen. So nice seeing these again on Tuesday's. I hope to start appliqué midgets in January =)
Finished is far better than perfect. In the end, nobody will notice the crookedness. Great progress.
Amazing! I am stunned! Too small for me. I would have applique the thing instead of sewing it. Brownie points to you !
It is a fascinating quilt. Well done on doing this block...
I love your liberated little block!
