    This quilt will be for my new GD so the fabrics I have chosen are to suit a baby girl. I also reduced the block to 6" finished size.

    This is so adorable and summery. My DD lives in Melbourne so I know how hot it can get.

    Just goes to show how one pattern can be whatever you need it to be. You are very creative!

    Thanks for all the nice comments.

    I love all the blocks so far (even if you do have your seasons back to front) and look forward to seeing more.

    Linda L........Your Snow Blossom block turned out really nice, too!! It truly looks just like a real snowflake. Your fabric combination just made it perfect. I am so glad you have shared with us today. We just love to see pictures of everyone's block. Keep them coming everyone.

This will go through your printer, and it is very easy to tear the paper off when you are done with the block.

    Jeanie, thanks for posting this video. I have been pp'ing for a while but had gotten in the habit of trimming each seam after sewing it. I just learned that it is infinitely easier to see what I am doing if I trim before placing the next piece!

    I even ordered the add a 1/4" ruler!

    Thanks so much.

    ​Yep, I got the Add a 1/4" ruler too, it really helps to trim those seams before adding the next fabric piece.
