My husband likes the block but not my color choice. So I will make this one into a hot mat...Thanks for the great idea. I think I may make a few more pratcice blocks, but it was pretty easy. My hubby asked me to finish his quilt that I started...so I worked on that last night. I used all of my extra blocks and sewed them together to make a binding. now I just need to sew that one. Then one more solid color border....its getting there...
