this is very striking. i thought the 10min block might be a shortcut. but apparently not.
I think this is a shortcut when compared to the CW done by hand. Not something I would enjoy doing by hand. Actually, I don't enjoy making much of any pattern that is a repeat of the same block over & over. I like to make samplers like AOTH, LBB, Dear Jane, etc. I'm slightly ADD & OCD - nasty combination. Might explain why I can get so much done. I jump around from project to project, so that when I am ready to give it my all, I'm already half finished!
no wonder we have so much in common, and I used to be all over the place, into everything.
Not anymore! let's just say, health caught up with me and I had to do something about it and the results are I'm much slower.
For a period of time when I was in my thirties, I had three jobs and still went home and cooked and helped kids clean.
We all worked in our house and I told kids it was "character building."
They truly have great character now too!
