Well…..That will show me for being cocky! I just completed block 6 and had a heck of a time! I sewed then unsewed. I fudged & pinned & sewed some more. It turned out lovely BUT is a good 1/4 inch too small. I’ll have to try again. I thought I had that 1/16th thing down pat but apparently not.
Before I started blogging (last May) I began reading other blogs and looking at what one could do within the three main blog services – Typepad, WordPress, and Blogger. One thing I noticed was that bloggers complained more about Typepad and WordPress but I can only think of a couple of times that I read complaints about Blogger. So, when I set up my blog, I chose Blogger because it was free and it has really been easy to work within. I have only one issue and that’s the fact that you can’t load pdf’s. I decided to set up an alternate blog in WordPress just for pdf’s. Unfortunately, I found it so difficult to maneuver in that I gave up. Now that’s just me but I have really come to enjoy blogging and I don’t want to have to learn how to be an engineer just to do it. So I am staying with blogger and will send my pdf patterns via e-mail to a list of those who sign up to the BOM when I start it in December. I sure understand your frustration. 🙂
So I did mine over and it turned out great. Turns out I was seam allowence challenged LOL It had nothing to do with Judy’s great instructions. Since there is no Mr Linky for noe here’s my block.http://barnquilter.blogspot.com/2008/10/block-6-and-autumn.html I’d love to see everyone else’s. Provide a link in your comments if possible.
Got my #6 block done right away this time. It went together as easy as could be, but I think I was extra careful after reading that a couple of people had some trouble. Thanks, Judy. These blocks are a lot of fun. Sue H
I had a very difficult time finding where to post this…and not sure how I got here…(smile) …I have #6 done…posted and put with my other ones in sidebar….I really feel comforable doing after doing 6 blocks with the 16th measurement….not sure where to put link so did it both places….thanks Judy… http://heartinhishandquilting.blogspot.com/2008/10/bom-6.html
This block went together easily. I have been using my Eleanor Burns Triangle Square Up Ruler and her Flying Geese Ruler to square the blocks up before moving on to the next step, and that’s been key for me . . .

I sewed and ripped. Then pinned and sewed and ripped and then sewed again until I got it. Yaaah. Sorry, you’re having problems with the blog, Judy.
