Default Modern Quilts Unlimited Block Challenge
I have entered a contest thru Modern Quilts Unlimited magazine. The challenge is to prepare a modern version of old fashioned block patterns which are provided as inspiration by MQU. Just wanted to share photos of my first 2 blocks.

"Snails! Follow the Geese!" (inspired by Snail's Trail)
