BeckyL - I agree totally with you on the borders. :)
So, I have redone the block with a different fabric in place of the polka dots. (Please ignore the piecing...these blocks are my first real attempts at triangles!)
One block takes at least 2 hours...hopefully that will improve once I have the colors down...
I have a preference of one block over the other, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks -- Polka dots or no polka dots? :)
