Mon Oeuvre ~ Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler Quilt progress: Block #3 Alice

"Alice"
A learning curve with this block, is one that I've had to be careful of before, "watch my points", as I sew the seam alowances. Unfortunately, some of these outer points will be sewn off when it is put together. I could rip it apart and redo it, but I'm keeping it as is. I hope that as I continue on with this quilt it will be a show and tell of how I've progressed in my "carefulness" as I quilt - sort of a "quilting journal". The last blocks "I hope" will show maturity in my quilting skills. 
I only have "96" to go.
