Easier Than One Would Think
When I went to the quilt show at Oaks, PA in September, I was able to do a tour of the vendors on Saturday and make notes about things I might want to purchase. One of the things that caught my eye was a cute wall hanging with snowmen. The same wall hanging had caught my eye at the show last year, except that it was done with pumpkins. I bought the pattern and the fat quarters then and of course, let it sit in my stash. The reason was the mitered corner. I just didn't have confidence in my ability to piece it. I really liked those snowmen but I wasn't going to buy them unless I could make the block. I had some time on Sunday morning before I went back to the show so I did a mock-up with muslin and the piecing went fairly well. I learned from my trial that I would have done a better job if I had marked where to stop sewing on the side strips. I did that with the real block yesterday and got a perfect miter....
