I was clearing the decks today, so to speak. (My sewing room is now a total disaster!)
Anyway, decided to go ahead and make this block since it is an "easy" block! Well, multiple 'frogging' sessions later it's together. I really have goofed this block up. I wanted the red as the main fabric. That's a good choice. I wanted the white print for the light. Good so far. THEN, I picked that blue without even considering that it should be a medium color and not dark. Sigh! It is what it is! What it isn't is pink!
Just a word of warning to everyone. It's an easy block so be sure to read the directions!! :shock: I think I was acting like a 'know-it-all' and that is why I spent so much time ripping seams this afternoon! :roll:

I like it just as it is! What great colors for a kids quilt.

I am inspired!

I am going to go check my stash and do the BOMs this year with all of you. :D

I agree with Patrice the blue is perfect. Also you are definately not alone in the rip/resew department either. I did the same on the Frolic BOM earlier and it was suppose to be simple too. Well, for me it wasn't a frolic. :lol: Looking forward to seeing more. This block is lovely, you did a great job. :mrgreen:

Here is my block. The first BOM I've done. I plan to go back and do several other blocks for a RFL auction quilt.

Your blocks are beautiful! I can't wait to make mine. Maybe tonight when things settle down here.

I'm glad you all liked it, I had never seen it before either.

Your blocks look really good. I didn't try any last year but got this one printed off and am ready to start the new year out right.
