Sure am having a time understanding this. Is this sometimes called the Boston Block? I know how to make it, but not the way you do. I'll have to try that.
And in the directions for "Fresh Flowers", it took a long time to understand the "bud". It's hard to see in a picture; I think I need a hands on instructor. LOL
