I created a fabulous fabric volcano. If it wasn't so frustrating, it would be hysterical. I volunteered (clearly my first mistake) to help sew blocks for a project. My assignment--a 20 " Lone Star block. Okay. I decided to use some of my stash to practice on before cutting the fabric supplied for the project.

Ouch, ok it's the nicest thing I can come up with at the moment. I've been working on a quilt top and I thought I was in the home stretch, but it is not to be.
