String Heart
This is the February block for the Block Lotto - a great finished block but it takes quite a while to get the hang of it. Saying that, I really enjoyed it and am gonna try some more. I did complete another, truth be told, but on closer inspection the coloured stripes went the opposite way AND just like last time, it ended up too small. Ah well, back to the drawing board!!

It really does get so much easy as you make more and more blocks using this technique for adding the triangles. I learned it in a BYOS (bring your own stash) class and am using it to make the feedsack blocks (you can see them here. My points aren't anywhere close to perfect, but the more I make the closer to perfect and more consistent they become.
