Yvonne, Your block is awesome!!!! Obviously doing it "wrong" is right for you!!! Love the avatar as well!!
Tricia, thanks for telling me about the fabrics!! (They create a great "on-screen" (mine) optical illusion.) My local quilt shop doesn't carry the "metallics" anytime of the year except Christmas. :roll: So, now that I know what I'm looking for, I'll order some.
