This block came out of scraps of what I had on hand as I was on a retreat. On the sample of what the whole quilt would look like there are black lines that show where the seam are. I used Glass eye 2000 which is a program for stained glass and you can set the lead lines for different widths, I forgot to make them fine lines so they would not be dominant. On the actual square I don't think the seams show that much. I like to work with squares and try to stay away from bias edges, so I do the center lines the lay the new block on the next color to get the Boston blocks.

I appreciate all the support. Thanks
