Jelly Roll Block

I love this block and it is simple to do but the simpler it is the more I tend to foul it up... I had to use my seam ripper twice! What is up with that????

  1. I hear ya on that one! I think that I concentrate so much on the "hard" blocks that it works better...and when I don't concentrate on the "easy" blocks I mess it up :)

  2. Beautiful Joan! I had so much trouble with block 2. I don't know why. It wasn't a hard block, but I used my seam ripper probably a dozen times, LOL.

  3. If you're like me you stop paying as much attention when it's an "easy" block.

  8. That is so true! Why is that? I think we get cocky on the easy blocks.

  10. It looks wonderful...I think we concentrate so hard on those tough blocks...seems like I always have to rip something on the easy ones.

  12. At least you got it finished, and it's very pretty. I can't wait to see your quilt when it's finished.

  13. LOL Joan - the longer I quilt the worse I get at it - a straight seam is now beyond me. My girlfriend can't understand simple patterns, only the ones that give me a headache - the more complicated, the better!
    Your block looks very pretty!

  15. love the pretty fabrics! Yeah, it's the simple stuff that gives me the most trouble sometimes. That's when I just have to walk away from a project for a while.
