I really DO like to paper piece--but this attempt at 'Century of Progress' went terribly wrong!! I copied it 'to actual size' and plunged in. Not only is it a half inch too small...
the 2 halves are upsidedown and backwards!! My husband took one look and said, "Mug rug"!! He's got something there! :-) Back to templates for me.Which is how 'Cats & Mice' turned out pretty OK--not perfect, though it got quite familiar with the seam ripper.......
Hope everyone else's weekend is going pretty OK too! Happy sewing all.

Wow! I hate to paper piece and you're not changing my mind here, lol...I do really love that second block though! And yes, I vote for mug rug too. You're such a good piecer, I need to come take some lessons!
I hate it when that happens. Sounds like the designer may have printed something wrong. Don't give up! And it will make a cute Mug Rug.
I learned a very good lesson from your post and that is some learning experience we can not encountered it. For me It is very inspirational.

You are so good to remake it......I probably would have put a small border on it and called it "perfect"!
I ordered the book, I've been sucked in by all the beautiful blocks in blog land. Wish me luck :0)
Happy Sewing
Such gorgeous blocks!! I read back through your whole blog...what an awesome quilter you are!!
Thanks for the block warning - I will take extra care so that I'll avoid the issues. I doubt I have yet done one block without unsewing... for me it's a big PP learning curve.
