Not sure it's my thing

Block 0 of the NYB QAL, how hard could it be with a name like that?  Well, I visited a new blog - a good part of the reason for doing QALs if you ask me.... Kim at My Go-Go Life did a great job in her tutorial and I loved the fabrics she used.  There were several tricks I learned so that part was lovely. None the less, I'm just not sure it's my thing.

I thought I'd chosen well with a warm/cool contrast but as the sun went down - which it did, because it took all day - the values seemed sort of blah.  Then came the challenge of sewing the outer and inner background.  The gentle slope of the brilliant Quick Curve Ruler and easy slant when I improv are enjoyable, but this was something else all together.

Still a couple weeks behind and for now, I'm going to aim for two of each block and see how I hold up.
