Splendid Sampler 2 - Sailor Collar

Only one block finished this week, but I have prepped a few applique blocks ready to take to "Scrub Stitchin' Retreat" in April.

This week's block is "Sailor Collar" by Jenni Smith.  I was a little nervous about the small piecing, but by taking it steady and double checking the measurements after piecing each section, it came together easily.  I was being rather smug about not having to do any reverse stitching until I pieced the large triangles on the collar.  I drew the stitch line and then proceeded to stitch a quarter of an inch beside it, as I do in half square triangles.  Doh!  Easily fixed.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  Thanks Jenni for a challenge.

I'm linking up over at The Splendid Sampler.  Pop over and see the creations from some other ladies.
