perfect = panick // play = productive!

I really want to follow a pattern from a magazine to make a cushion for my fiance for Xmas. The problem is it includes some 'friendship stars', and I've only successfully done half square triangles once, 15 yrs ago, when I was 15! Fear of Failure has meant that after a month of repeatidly looking at the instructions, I still haven't got anywhere.

So I decided I'd put the lessons from 15 Minutes Play into practice, and PLAY at making a friendship star block. Just some leftover scraps of fabric, 15 minutes and the knowledge that it was not for the cushion.




Ok, my points don't really match up with the centre square, and it is very wonkey, but I like it and I think I know what I need to do to make the ones for the cushion meet up better (uniform seam allowance i think!). Humm, maybe it's the first block in a new scrappy quilt?
