Once again this was a very simple and quick block to produce. Again, Im not very keen on the back of the block where the cross stitch comes through, however I guess I will have to learn to deal with it as there is no changing it now.
The granny square!! Oh how I longed for this simple block. And yet, when it came time to produce it, I hated it. I had never done a block that required anything except simple crochet, this incorporated doubles and trebles and was a lot more difficult than it needed to be. It did however produce a much better finish than my other ones (but shh!).
I loved making this square. It was so simple to crochet and took little to no time at all. Im not very happy with the back of the square, its neat enough (years of practice, although dislike, of cross stitch) I just dont like the fact that when the quilt is finished, if you turn it over you will see pink lines etc. I would have liked to hide the stitches within the white as I went but it proved difficult to achieve the look while maintaining even cross stitches.
My second block from 'The Art of Crochet' is the shell block. Overall it turned out square which is the main thing I suppose. Im not very happy with its overall look. I may undo it and try again later. Im not entirely sure what it is about it that I dont like. I had trouble understanding exactly what they wanted me to do at each of the edges and just seemed to fudge it as I went, perhaps that is what is wrong? Otherwise its a rather pretty square really.
It turned out rather square for my first attempt at a quilting block anything other than a granny square.
