This is the one I mucked up a bit. I had cut the strip sets to make all of those 9 patches, but accidentally cut them at 13 /16 instead of 1 3/16. Of course, there wasn't enough fabric left to cut strips of the correct size. Luckily, though, I have a fabric or two in my stash. They had provided a mostly black fabric for the dark squares. I had some Kona charcoal left from the baby quilt, and I think that looks just fine with the other colours in this BOM.

Next Freebie Fifteen Done
I'm done a little lot early this time. It helps to be on vacation! This is the Freebie Fifteen block of the month from Traditional Pastimes. It isn't actually due till June 15th.

I like the contrast! It looks really good! Mistakes aren't so bad!
