You're welcome Jan, I figured you'd just opened the August post. Carrot, your blocks are really pretty, I too, like the little prints. Glad all came out with just 'property' damage - I know it has to really be stressful for ya'all. Same here when tornadoes hit!

I'm anxious to see if others like this block and hope to see some variations of it. The block itself is not very pretty, but I can imagine how many secondary patterns could be made if the block was made multiple times, set directly together and turned different directions. Bet it would make a cute lap or baby quilt, and think it might be a good go-to block for fast and easy donation quilts. (I've been thinking of making a block using black and white with a red accent square. Didn't get it made so just posted my pink and green test block.)
Just a good 10" basic block to add to our set. Hope others like it, too. Janet

Fabric Galore and other FL friends.... I'm so sorry to hear about the damage you received, but am sure glad it wasn't any worse. All these hurricanes are crazy and very scary. We'll keep our fingers crossed no more make their way your direction.

Just Jan, unpacked my fabric today to make your block and it is short fabric. You might look at the directions again and post new ones. You just can't make a block with these pieces

Loving the colors in these blocks. I'm in the middle of making a quilt so holding off doing this month's blocks hope to catch up soon. Keeping those in prayers who had damage to their homes or business.

OOPS! I should have said Jan's instructions were for 2 of the 3" background blocks. There should be a total of 5 - 3 for the corners and 2 for the center four patch.
