I went back to work on my Album blocks yesterday. And realized I had made the first four of them wrong. The second and sixth rows are supposed to be made with 3 1/2" long strips of colored fabric, and I had used strips that were 2 1/2". Arghhh.
I sure did not want to remake the whole blocks. I figured that if I unsewed carefully with my seam ripper I could just re-do those rows. And I was right, thank goodness.
This is how they are supposed to look. It is a subtle difference, but I am glad I spotted it and fixed it. I am still not sure if I will make eight blocks or ten. I will add a border and I don't want the runner to be too big. At first, I was thinking twelve blocks, but now I am leaning towards ten.
My husband and I got three pots planted with the plants I bought over the weekend. I cannot wait to see how they look once they fill out. Can you spy Ozzie photobombing my photo?

Your blocks look great Nicole! Those blocks are trickier than they look. I made some last month and did the same mistake as you😂. Envious you have lovely pots outside already! Have a great week!
Those colors are so soft looking. Glad it turned out to be an easy fix! What pretty plants on your porch to enjoy for months! Ozzie blends in with the pot & shadows…the little scamp! 🐶 Stay well!
Such pretty Album blocks. YOu did some wonderful flower and fabric shopping. I have some Roselyn too and it seems I’m not done with red quilts yet either. Love Ozzie.
You’re doing a wonderful job of planting on my porch. ;p
The blocks look wonderful. I really like the colors. Enjoy the lovely weather. We got our 1st shot this past weekend…yay!
They look great! Funny how a little thing like that can mess it up. So glad you saw it when you were only 4 in, instead of 12. It’s going to be awesome!
Good catch on those blocks! I only noticed after you pointed it out, and then it’s so obvious! Glad it was an easy fix. We are not ready for plants yet, but things are really budding out after several days of rain.
