Good Bye to Wishes

These are my last blocks for Wish Circle.  Kirsten asked us to make 4 checkerboard nine patches in red and white.  It's an extremely easy block, but it actually worked to my disadvantage, because somehow I managed to not pay attention quite enough.  I cut two rows a 1/4 inch too small.  Luckily, I caught it before I pieced the rows together, but it was a rather silly mistake.  I think I'll blame it on the ruler. 

Sadly, after 3 years of wonderful sewing together, the Wish circle is being dissolved.  Technically speaking most of us are being melded into the Peace Circle since they lost a lot of members recently and the head of our circle is stepping down.  Starting next month I'll start another sewing adventure with some old and many new friends in the Peace Circle of do.Good Stitches.
