It is a lovely block and way toooooooo difficult for me. It is amazing how somebody can see something simple like a log cabin and complicate the hell out of it. Then there are people like Eleanor Burns and Liz Porter who see ways to simplify our quilting.

Congratulations on finishing the block. I don't think I would try it.

This looks absolutely beautiful; but oh, so fiddly! You have far more patience than I.

That is the next thing on my list to learn. Years ago a new neighbor tried to teach me, but I just didn't grasp the technique. She used all types of fabric and used newspaper...
