When we were given the directions for this block Saturday morning, the class was told this was the easier of this month's two blocks. I
spent several hours on it yesterday; cutting, pinning, stitching, ripping apart
and re-stitching. The finished product is more a matter of compromise than of
calculation. It’s supposed to resemble the Japanese symbol for good luck, but
it certainly wasn’t very lucky for me. Actually, I’m not a firm believer
in luck. I suspect that what most of us see as others’ good luck is really the
result of hard work. And I’m sure that it’s easier to blame our own misfortunes
on bad luck than on a lack of talent or diligence. This block is comprised of
33 pieces, most of which are only half an inch wide. You can try piecing it, if
you dare. I wish you luck.
