HUMILITY HAPPENED

So how did Sew Day with QOV group go?!
 Well, all I can say, in my defense, is that I still have island breezes blowing through my brain!  I was supposed to make blue stars with a white background and I made it in reverse.  Then after I had made 4 of these blocks, I realized that they were big--12 1/2" big and NOT the 8 1/2" size the pattern called for.  
What in the world?  How long have I been quilting?!?!?!? 
 I READ the instructions again and realized my error--the center block is correct at 4 1/2" but the other squares around it were NOT 4 1/2" , too.
 Oh.
 I put these blocks away to become another project someday.  
 Then I bought some more fabric and will make the catch-up blocks today!!!!  The 4-patches Mary made were just right! 
And we had a great time with everyone!
I also needed some fabric to make the red stars.  I can see that having the group meet in our local quilt shop can become a budget buster! lol  
And as long as we were there, we bought our ALL FLORIDA SHOP HOP TICKETS  and some new fabric to get in the mood!
And I am a sucker for  patriotic panels; 
this one will be the seed for another QOV!
A very good day!
