Ok Ladies last one I really do have to get my crap done or Mr Bill is going to have a flipping melt down hahaha
This is for Quilter Momma it's called Radio Windmill from Jinny Beyer free blocks this is the first time I have worked with that kind on angles it was interesting and I probably did it the hardest possible way with paper template and just a picture of the placement no step by step directions. while I don't always need the directions I wouls like to know if there was an easier process.
Whatever I'm pleased with it and quilter Momma I starched the snot out of it because all of the outside edges are on the bias

I was trying to quote Anna's comment about her daughter saying her block was to "Christmassy", I found it funny b/c my husband has said "well that is kinda plain for you isn't it" when I was showing him some pics of blocks I planned on making. That was one of the reasons I put the "bitty" block in the center of the "arrows" block.
