Variable Star


Okay, you caught me. This is the same block I posted September 19 (almost), with a different name. I was less than satisfied with the first 12" block, so I cut it up to make the tiny 3" block in the barn quilt block I posted September 21. The points in that block didn’t all meet dead on, and I thought I could do a better job if I had another go at it. Apparently I was wrong. If you look very closely, you’ll see these don’t quite meet either. “Dead on” is more relative than it sounds. It depends on the strength of your reading glasses. My mom would say a horseman galloping by would think it was perfect. My grandma would say a blind man would be happy to see it. Maybe I should take an Amish view of the matter. If only God is perfect, I should be content with an occasional flaw in my work.
