I thought I had done some hard blocks on my first project, but that was before I done this quilt. Block 7 just about kicked my ass. I know this block is far from perfect, but finished is better than perfect. Besides I'm not perfect either so what does it matter if there are mistakes. Most of the time I'm the only one that will see them and for those of you reading this who see the mistakes below, don't bother pointing them out as I already know what they are, but I refuse to do this block again. Me and Jack already spent too much time together on this one.

Block 7 is called The Cross Stitch. For this block I was supposed to choose (1) red (2) orange, (2) blue, (1) cream with green, (1) yellow, (2) grey and (1) green.  I picked the same prints as in the sampler for this block, but didn't realize until after I had finished it and started doing this post that I mixed up the two greys and the red on the bottom in regards to placement. Oh well, like I said mistakes happened and I'm sure I will have a few more flops before I am done.

For the last two days I have contemplated giving up all together on this one and just going on to something else and coming back at a later date, but I'm not a quitter, so I will finish this or die trying.
