Joan let me start with when I started this block I had no intention of making 2 blocks that were so much alike in fact this is not the block I started. but it is the one I finished. It's what I ended up with after making a big fat cutting error so instead of 3.5 inch hst's I had to make 2.5. so I played and played with them till I found a pleasing layout. I had to use a border someplace and I chose inside I didn't want it to look like an after thought. I really didn't figure out how close to the same they were till I as putting it in the baggie.
