The original block looked like this (not bad, but it didn't make me happy):

Re-evaluating and Remaking
Sometimes, our first impulse is the right one, and we should go with it.... other times not so much. I made a block for Pat Sloan's 'Childhood Games' block-of-the-week project, but it bothered me... a little bit, at first. I used black as accent strips, but I wasn't happy with the lack of contrast with the purple blocks. Today, I finally decided it was bothering me enough to be worth ripping out some seams, cutting some new fabric to replace the accent strips and resewing it all together. Here is the remade block, all shiny and new. This one makes me happy!
