Up a Creek
Be careful what you wish for. Here was I craving a return to piecing and then I remembered that I had promised to make a 12" Kayaks block for a friendship/farewell quilt:
As you can see, this block requires precision piecing and it's been a while since I have required sharp points. In the end, I decided to go the foundation piecing route so that I can withstand scrutiny from the quilt police.

I really love this block, Brenda. The piecing looks great, too...I think I'd have gone for paper piecing, too, with those sharp little points. Love the colors.
I pieced onto paper and removed it - a clean and easy process since I had pre-perforated the sewing lines. I could not be bothered with such rigmarole for an entire quilt but it was fine for four blocks. I can't wait to see the quilt top put together - an illusion of circles emerges.
