This is my effort made up to the Kansas Troubles block pattern from Barbara Blackman's Civil War Blocks blog.
I wonder what she has in store for us this coming week.

Kansas Troubles Quilt Block or The Case of the Vanishing Points
I'll say it straight away. There is no way I will be making a complete quilt from this block pattern. It is hard. If I did make a quilt I would have to call it The Quilt of the Vanishing Points. Now that I've muddled my way through I have the feeling that my work would have been more accurate and done more speedily if I had hand-pieced it. With hand-piecing there is more wiggle room. I also know that I feel more comfortable with a 3/16" seam allowance

I think it's a beautiful block. But I can also see why you wouldn't want to make a huge pile. But you would also be proficient at half square triangles!
