Patchwork block 2

Here is a photo of the second patchwork practice block.
I decided to keep the same colours in these samples, as I may eventually sew them together...
I realised that my piecing method left a lot to be desired..mainly due to NOT measuring the seamlines correctly.
I had been relying on the cutting mat to draw the lines, which was really never going to be accurate.
Once I re drew them, the sewing was a doddle.
I also followed Dolore's (the teacher) explanation of sewing the centre eight points together using single thread.

As you can see, it still needs ironing, but I am pleased with the cross like pattern that the colour combination created.
