Oh my goodness Rhonda, This block is BEAUTIFUL, the colors are dancing and alive. I love your choice of pattern's, as you know the Kansas dugout is my favorite. I also have always cut mine into strips then cut. I believe your pattern shows that????? Or the one I found did. I have this one down to a penny. I also recieved the block and yhour awesome. Oh so beautiful, The flower part doesn't do the real thing justice, as they match the green and teal... After seeing Katie's green and teal I fell in love with it. Again, Thank you
