Do you remember a certain singer who decided that a symbol would represent him instead of a name? Well that’s how I remembered him after twisting the title of one of his songs. Now that’s what I think of this block. I just kept getting it wrong and the final product is wrong, but I like it the way it is. Nothing to do with the instructions, they were fine, but I have a bad habit of making things late at night when I should go to bed. I am tired and I make mistakes, fortunately it’s not brain surgery!
It was supposed to be Carrie Nation but I completely forgot to add a third purple to the small squares which are supposed to run through the middle, so I played around with the arrangement and made this instead. Not so much Carrie Nation as Frustration!
I was multi-tasking and making more than one block so I could chain piece but things went awry, never mind the end result is going in the final quilt anyway!
Another purple block still to be made yet. Watch this space

Nice block, I would not be able to figure out what was wrong until you told. It’s lovely the way it is, who would know?

Thank you that’s what I was hoping – there are so many blocks, who could remember them all!

I like the way your Purple Pain block turned out and… Perfection is over-rated!! 😛

It is! Better to get it made than get it perfect!

Sorry for the frustration. Block looks great though. Always nice that the finished projects rarely reveal the struggle involved in the creation progress.

It was my own fault – these problems nearly always arise when I try to make things late at night – I need my sleep to function properly! You would think I’d know that by now but it’s so tempting to just sew another block

Beautiful prints and block. I didn’t see a problem.

Thank you – that’s why I didn’t unpick it in the end, I thought it stood as a block on its own
