Block 4 was a snowball, and I like how it looks now that it's done, but the directions on it were a bit confusing and the snowball part was a bit confusing to me. I also had the border stars completely reversed initially, but I caught it right before I took the picture, tore it apart and fixed it. I ended up pulling in some outside fabric for the background, as well as the green part of the snowball. Again, I like how it looks, but I can't say this is one I would do again on my own anytime soon.
Block 5 was deceptively difficult. The cutting was easy, the initial piecing was easy, yet somehow, my straight lines became curves on me. This should be a square with 90 degree angles. Final result was close but not quite. I had a ton of re-dos on this one too, but again, DONE! This one I might try again, just to see if I could actually get it straight. It was fun, but it's harder than it looks to try to get those 90 degree angles.
Block 6 looks to be another challenge. I glanced at the directions and am already confused, but I decided I'm just burnt out from doing these two blocks today and I'm going to look at it with fresh eyes over the weekend.
