Oh my....

I do not know how to blog and live my life at the same time. I am at the age where parents are beginning to be an issue. For the past two weeks I have had my mother in law with Alzheimers to give my husbands brother and sister in law a break. Even though I am a nurse by profession it is not a job for the weak at heart or anyone with a hobby...like sewing. If my camera battery had not died I would show you what I did manage to get accomplished which is organizing some of my fabric BUT the reason for this post is this.


Is this a stupid block? Do not be nice.
I need to make
four more blocks, they are time consuming and I have a backup block. I just do not want to give a stupid block. The colors were obviously aqua, orange and yellow. The person likes HR...well, who doesn't but have I stared at this block for too many hours and blinded myself against it? I have made only two of the six I am to make. Here was the initial one



I had no reservations about this one. Came together quickly and i like it.
Did my mother in laws alzheimers skew my thought processes and creativity
or am I just having a mini breakdown?
Help a girl out before someone gets a bad block.

If I were doing it again i would do a wonky log cabin in a circular design.
similar to this but not as structured.

thanks for your input!

The blocks for the 3x6 bee


i forgot to show you the failed block. i placed it back together as i have already removed one of the middle seams but you get the idea. i really like the block.....i am just a "wee" bit short of 12.5"....isn't that a bummer?




















here are the fabrics i am using for the next block....the colors are brown, orange and pink...i think by looking at the fabric i am missing one....i am also using munki lipstick...one tube..in coral.
