I decided to make this one in a 9 inch size. I wanted to fussy cut a centre square for the middle of the block. Most of my other 9in. blocks have a fussy cut children's fabric in the centre. I turned the corner units because I thought they detracted from the friendship star look. I like this block, but now I think I have made up a whole new block. And look what happened to my little piggy in the centre! When I sewed the corner triangles on, I cut off one of his ears!
Can't have that! I quickly needle turned another tiny ear onto the block. Now he looks better! I think my piglet is happy in the centre of his new block!

LOVE your "rescued" piggy with two ears!!! The batik block above that looks really nice, too.
You are so creative. That's just one of the reasons I enjoy coming to visit your place. Both of those blocks are pretty but the little pig and getting his ear back is wonderful.

I really really like that first block....I just might have to go and make it...hummmm have to make time....hummmmm we will see...
You are so clever!
A friend, well my mentor, told me part of the measure of a good quilter really has to do with the ability to fudge and fiddle and fix things. She likes to say that a lot of us can piece a block but can we work it out when we make an error or better yet, can we work it into the quilt? I like that perspective.
Anyway, I really like how you did this. You had some fun here and some adventurous learning. I had fun here actually!!! Nothing new though. Always fun here at C and S.
That is an adorable block, and what a lovely fix! It looks better than it would have if you had done it "right."
Love the piggy block!! Times flies indeed!
The batik fabric really is stunning in that square.
