    Thumbs down I'm disappointed in my Jacob's ladder block

    Once again, the triangles "win". My two "bows'" points don't match up.

    Sigh....

    The colors are really pretty! I think you did a nice job. You worked hard and should be proud.

    I haven't mastered triangles either. I will keep practicing if you will!

    Thanks everyone for making me feel better If it were for anyone other than my mother (she's a quilter too), I would just use the block in the interest of time.

    I was going to work on making another one today (I have an idea why I'm having trouble), but I ended up having a pretty stressful day, so I'll try it tomorrow instead.

    It's a very special quilt you are making, I can see.
    I hope it goes better today for you, when you give it another try.
