Okay, I'm blaming all of this on Chele. I went back and relooked at my Hayes Corner and decided to try one more block out of that fabric box. Here's what I got and I now, publicly am saying Thank You, Chele! I am liking my original choice much better and I would never have tried another block without your sweet words.
Of course I had to build another Jan. 1, block to go with my new color choices. Now it looks as if I'll be building two blocks a month!
Like I said, It's all Chele's fault!
