This is an 8-inch block and is number 191 of 366. See what I mean about how it should have been easy? Odd how that works sometimes.
Here is the 9-patch that was the inspiration for me to make a new one. This quilt was made by either my husband's grandmother or great-grandmother, we aren't quite sure. And not knowing for sure who made it makes it all the more important to put a label on your quilts. I have been very guilty of not doing that lately and I really need to get back to it.
Some of the fabrics used are feed sacks which I am really excited about. I also find it interesting that the blocks go over the edge on the left side and are actually part of the binding (you can see a larger picture by clicking on the photo). :) Every quilt has a story, even if the quilt is the only one speaking to us. I'm linking with Manic Monday and Design Wall Monday. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

Some days blocks go together beautifully, some days, not so much! You can't tell that this one gave you grief though! It looks great!
I feel your pain!! I am new to quilting so am not very good with triangles. I am attempting to make a Christmas quilt and one of the blocks is a friendship block...I tore part of that thing apart a zillion times!!
Another lovely block, you'd never know it was difficult! Your old 9-patch block is beautiful, I can see why it has inspired you to make another one.
