Salmonsweet, so glad you like the block! I had so much fun making it for you. The pattern came from a magazine and it was so cool, only the arc with multiple points was paper pieced; the rest were just regular piecing. So much fun to do. (I think the mag was Quilt World? It has the block on the cover as a sunflower-type quilt ... really pretty, and so easy!)
Since so many of you think it's so cool, I may have to do a few more of that block for some of the rest of you whose blocks I have not completed yet. I always plan to do a different block for everyone (there are so many to select from, you know), but once I get started, sometimes I get in a groove on one and make several versions with all the different F8s ... this year it seems to be _______________ blocks ... sorry, you'll have to wait to see what you get to find out which!
Enjoy the sunshine everyone! Soon enough, we'll be freezing our ______'s off in the snow. We'll NEED these quilts then!
