Wen_ot (a.k.a. Wendy) was the first to go and as she's from Holland, wanted a Dutchman's Puzzle block.
I took a great big gulp when I saw this as still being a bit of a beginner there seemed a great deal of accuracy needed. I started off on the wrong foot by cutting my first rectangle too small, so from then on everything was measured at least 4 times before my rotary cutter got any where near the fabric!!
In the end it wasn't as bad as I imagined it was going to be and I did feel quite proud of myself.
Due to the error above, I didn't have quite enough fabric left to finish a second block but I did as much as I could and Wendy can add the last sail herself.
As it seemed such a waste to throw away the cut off bits (technical phrase!!), I turned them into half triangle squares and had enough to make a third pinwheel-esque block.
October's fabrics have arrived so you'll have to come back to check them out.
I like the look of your pinwheel-esque block. Make a lovely cushion cover if there wasn't enough 'scraps' to make anything bigger.
