Today hasn't been a complete waste:
I made one test unit of the third "Good Fortune" clue, using Bonnie's method of drawing lines.
When cut apart, it yielded pieces that were probably close enough to the correct size:
But that was all I managed. The treadle machine then decided to stop making proper stitches (it skipped stitches then broke the thread), and my Lotus had a go at chewing up a few more. At the end of the frustrating day this is all I have.
I also spent a bit of time looking at sewing machines on Gumtree and Ebay...

How frustrating!
Doh dear Vireya very frustrating .
Oh too bad that your machine broke down; tha block looks tough...angles and all hugs, Julierose
It is so frustrating when you have sewing days like that.
This is not a good block to sew at the best of times. Hope your machine frustrations are solved soon.
