Oh Girls you are all too kind. Thanks so much for commenting so sweetly.
Yes the last block is my signature block. But, I had a hard time designing it around eight blocks. It made it want to be on the longer side than what I originally planned it to be.
jbstrawberry ... you remember it from your childhood? Did you have one around? I love these old embrodery patterns. I have tons of them.
blizzardqueen.... a design board is either a free standing or wall hung felt that you can put your unsewn blocks onto to see how it will look when you set everything together. It is much like having a dress form, you know it is right before you commit yourself. If I had used it before the first two times I set those blocks, I would have seen that was wrong and saved myself taking out all those seams. :roll:
