I don't know if it's the desire for perfection or lack of self-confidence or something else that causes me to reconsider (again and again, sometimes). I like the idea of staying with your first idea.<br /><br />Thanks for hosting TGIFF.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-41317738151907782712017-04-12T00:41:47.064-04:002017-04-12T00:41:47.064-04:00Thanks, Bonnie.Thanks, Bonnie.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-50024952527483030092017-04-12T00:29:49.930-04:002017-04-12T00:29:49.930-04:00Gracias, Belarmina.Gracias, Belarmina.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-91688152960289714162017-04-12T00:28:48.371-04:002017-04-12T00:28:48.371-04:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Susan.

It's true that I didn't look at the unfinished block (minus the big flower -- I just couldn't work that in now matter how I tried) with the circles in mind so it probably wouldn't have worked. But I may still try it with a narrow "perch"--later.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-76361048150134006242017-04-12T00:23:35.895-04:002017-04-12T00:23:35.895-04:00Thank you, Jocelyn.

It's true: blocks don't all shine equally, and if they did, we wouldn't know where to look!<br /><br />Well, I would have left off that big pink flower. It was mostly the "perch" color and size and the bird's fabric that I liked better. I'm not changing it, at least for now. We'll see how the rest of the baskets go before I reconsider again.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-88289298476771268132017-04-10T21:57:20.588-04:002017-04-10T21:57:20.588-04:00I love your block!I love your block!Missy Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05209549470700130606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-43506658604883520522017-04-10T10:25:35.652-04:002017-04-10T10:25:35.652-04:00I like your first block and probably wouldn't ...I like your first block and probably wouldn't change a thing.

I have this up on the wall now and will let it rest and settle on me for a while. No hurry to remake if I choose to do that since there are 9 more blocks coming. I had though about using this block somewhere else.

Anyway, it hasn't been quilted yet. And there is a block that is bugging me. I know I'll probably unpick it and rearrange the parts. But, I'm the only one who is bothered by it. I'll say it again, I wouldn't change a thing.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-3064358510025107332017-04-07T18:16:54.399-04:002017-04-07T18:16:54.399-04:00I rarely remake a block.
