    I love that block, but sure takes a lot of time to do one! Yours are turning out so pretty.

    Thank you.
    The original plan was queen, but I think it will be closer to a full. I'd like to add an appliqued border but that may be a huge undertaking since I've never appliqued before and this is my first big project....we'll have to see how that plays out. I'm just glad I'm not tired of it yet~I'd say that's a good sign :D

    pretty colors.. layout is hard ! I have 3 done under my belt. baby quilt size. still the layout is tough.. i have found the newest way, and I admit a cop out, is to have a squared off edge. the sawtooth edge has slowed me down and I do not have that one done yet..

    The hexigon "Quilt Patis" are a breeze !! Just connect as you go and layout is not an issue !!

    Hard to get sold by a woman in Columbus ohio ( German town ) did find some on the internet.. but bought the wronge size !! 1/2 in is the length of a side.. tiny tiny tiny !!

    Good luck !!! have fun !!
