I love your block Roxanne, what size are you doing, I am thinking that the 7" ones are a bit on the difficult side the pieces are tiny

Elle, Thanks. Yes I'm doing the 7" and these little pieces are really trying both my patience and my physical abilities. Each block I make, I wish I had upsized!

Isn't it great that we can change things and do what pleases us?
Whether it's by choice or accidental, the changes makes each block unique and I am getting lots of ideas from others here on the board.

Rox...yours looks great done like that! I like it just fine without the teeny hearts.

Thanks Patti---I got the idea from you! Your block looked so clean and neat, but I had to study it to see what the difference was. I found out for sure when I drew in the center design and didn't like the way it scrunched up on the 7" block.

Roxanne, I love your multicolored flowers! I was afraid to use the prints in my stash, but now I'm having second thoughts - they look great! :thumbup:

I was nervous about it too, but according to the book, it is supposed to be done with scraps....so I didn't want to buy anything except the background. So far, I've only used scraps and stash.
