Is it going to work for me this time?

I have been following the Just Take 2 BOM, and working along trying really hard to keep up, Last week I dedicated a few days to finish the first quarter. This is what I have ended up with.
Now if you are also making this you will see that there are a couple of blocks in here that should not be, that is because I became frustrated with what I had made and decided that it was just not good enough and so I made my own. It is the hand piecing that is not working for me.

Anyway........ I am happy with what I have made, the feathered star especially and the applique one in the bottom right hand corner (which by the way I did with vliesofix and blanket stitch on the machine)

This one is certainly testing my staying power, and since I have finished this quarter there has been new blocks put up, which I cant start because my printer is out of ink. This is a very good excuse and I am sticking to it.

Another lot of red and white.

Here is the next lot of the red and white blocks, Notice there are two of the same block in different sizes, the small one must have been practice for me ( I am not admitting to anything else) cos I made it too small and did not discover it until it was nearly finished, so I decided a spare block might come in handy somewhere along the line. Alos it's big brother ran colour on me when I pressed it. I will try washing it, but not until I have one of those colour catcher things.
(Note to self put it on the shopping list)

Also the bottom left block I have changed, I cut it all out how it was supposed to go, then decided that all white around the red centre was boring so quickly swapped the corner blocks for red, I like how it turned out.
