I love your Carol Doak's block that you just made for your August 2012 BOM block. Like you, I am a big fan of her paper pieced pattern's. Your color's are terrific & your work is really great. I hope you are getting ready for the September block, as I will be posting it after midnight tonight!! Thank you for sharing with all of us.

It could also be an Oak Leaf or maybe a house block too. Whatever the choice is, I think purple will be the best color ever for it!! I will be posting the new pattern tonight after midnight, my time. Hope you enjoy it!!

I am going to have to wait until my Carol Doak paper-piecing paper arrives to do that Cat in Pumpkin card block. My fabric tears from the tracing paper I've been using.. this block is like 3" x 3" when finish so there are tiny piecings!
