CDTC Link Up For May

I managed to do my blocks for May (and got caught up on the April ones too). 

 I made 3 of the blocks. 

This is block 11.  

I did it a bit differently and just used the striped fabric to make the package.

This block, 12, was a bit tricky for me to make.  I had to wrap my head around how to do it.  I like how it turned out though.

This block, 13, was my least favorite to make. 

 I, of course, charged ahead, thinking well I know how to make a log cabin block. 

 WRONG!  

You need to READ the directions.  

She tells you when to trim the block and to what size before you go on adding logs.  

Me?  

I made it and trimmed at the end.  Leaving me with a gigantic block.

 *Face Palm*.  

So what did I do? 

 I ripped it all apart and started over, trimming as was suggested as I went along.  

Additionally, if I had to do it again, I would use aquas with the same value. 

 Then I could have turned them like how the white is in the photo below. 

All in all though, it is finished and I can move on to the next ones.

I will likely procrastinate the June blocks until after the wedding shower in NC mid month.

Now it's your turn. 

Have you finished your May (or any previous month's ) blocks?
