M-3


Difficulty of block: moderate difficult
Number of pieces: 25
Method used: hand piecing

Fireweed Flower was more frustrating then difficult. I started with the center square and added the four triangles. Then I attached the skinny green strips to the diamonds. Then the frustration began. It appeared the diamond section was too large for the triangle section. The seam was longer on the diamond pieces. After stitching, removing my stitches and stitching again, I realized I was to only stitch to the tip of the triangle and that funny overlapping of the green was stitched separately. Also, stitching the outer green pieces at that same spot was a little tricky. But, it worked out and in the end, looks pretty nice.

How beautiful that is. Don't recognize the fabrics, are they new ones....older ones from your stash....?
