Thanks Brat...you did my heart good. I am still learning and scared of some blocks because I am afraid they won't come out the right size��. I remember my first boom which is where I learned to make traditional blocks. I literally cried over some of the blocks and I couldn't make a point right to save my life. Some of the people in this boom were in that same boom. We have ALL gotten better. I think half the blocks were nine squares! Booms are the best way to learn and try new things. I do not think we have any newbies in this boom..if we do treat them gently-I would be appalled to show you my first boom blocks.
