Block a Day, January 6

Someone said to me recently that a mom is only as happy as her saddest child. This block is Maddie's blues.

 It was a bit of a devil to piece 1/2 inch squares...

but in the end it is just what I had pictured.

 

Here is my block for the 3x6 Bee this month. I have the fabric all cut and  ready to sew, just as soon as I finish this post!

The picture looks a bit wonky, but it really is straight.

I  just have to get better at my new camera so these pictures aren't so dark.
