Trudging Along

This is another example of a triangle made following Jane's original pattern rather than what was in the software. The pattern called for a narrow diamond shape for the dark piece at the bottom of the photo, but in Jane's block it's more of a square, so that's what I did. The original also has the two small dark triangles pointing outward in the center, while the software pattern eliminates those completely. What also frustrated me is that the software did not provide a paper-piecing pattern for this triangle, but I was able to draft one myself. If I could do it, then certainly the software makers could have as well. That's what I paid money for!

This is "BR3, Attic Window", an intermediate-level triangle that I paper pieced.

Very pretty, I love the blue combo, it looks awesome the way you have placed the fabrics! I am glad you can figure it out despite the problems with the software! Have a relaxing weekend!

I also had problems now & then with the software, but I was able to figure out most of them myself. However, as you said, that's what we paid money for. (at least I got mine on sale)

Love the block. Gorgeous fabric choices, as always.

Beautiful block!! I don't have the software, but I find the book also has lots of problems.
