I cant just see a picture and think how to make the block..its aggravating cause I have to have specific measurements, instructions etc. I have a book called 501 quilt blocks and some of them are beautiful but there are NO instructions or measurements at all.
The GO is the accuquilt Go. Cuts shapes...was a christmas present. As for the book, just get graph paper and draft it from the picture. I have several books like yours...nothing a pencil, paper, and a ruler can't fix!. Sarah has her own sewing machine from Santa....he gave this and supplies to make a simple quilt. If your grandkid uses a machine that has speed control, slow it down ( I can do this still with my foot pedal). She now can control speed on her machine with her foot pedal.
