A Change for the Better

None of my ideas to work on this week happened, but I was busy everyday.  The more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to leave my baby blocks as is. 

Not the look I wanted.

When I struggled with the 9-patches on point, I attached the sashing to them before sewing them onto the center.  That might have helped with the math, but it didn't help with the sewing.  I hand sewed mitered corners, but I knew I would never be happy with it.  I started deconstructing and it is working out better than I thought.  Definitely the right decision.

I got the waviness out of the 9-patch border without too much trouble.  My idea to tighten up some of the setting triangles worked well.  

Still thinking on the next border.

Nothing happened on the snowman quilt.  I appreciated the comments saying that choice A or C was best for the gap in the next border. That confirmed what I thought.  Maybe I'll work on that this week after I finish the last corner on the baby blocks.
