Sewbizgirl -- love my block!!
Moonrise, you have made some amazing blocks with the fabric that is giving me the most trouble. Thank you for helping me through my brain burp.
Most of the artists I know are bigtime lefties. As talented as you all are, I figured the majority of you were lefties. Obviously I am wrong. What is great about that is that there may be hope for me, a righty, yet!
So many of you are happier with the 45 mm rotary!! I may have to use mine a bit more and see if that makes a difference in my cutting style. I think I was pressing more with my 45 mm than I have to do with the 60 mm. I found a discussion board here that talked about it and almost everyone has stayed with the size they started with or stayed with the 45 mm because the blades are more affordable than the 60 mm. Interestingly, I started with the 60 mm and I buy my blades on sale so I'm not concerned about blade cost. I'll experiment with myself.
Thank you for all the feedback!

I've always been "backwards". It's the easier fabrics that I tend to have trouble with! 
I overthink things! 
I squeezed in one more block before bedtime. It's SewBizGirl's second block. Hope it's okay. I was kind of stumped on the fabrics, because green is reserved for sashing, and the only other colors in the F8 are red and black. (Edit: Well, there's a brownish/goldish color, but I wasn't too sure about it.) The accompanying fabric has a lot of red, so I went with black for the background. It reminds me of a poinsettia, actually, with snowflakes whirling in the background. Hope you like it.

Moonrise, your Dresden for Libster is stunning! That block is going to just is just going to jump from that quilt. I love that fabric, elegant and sassy at the same time! (how is that for a description!)

Moonrise, you have been doing some beautiful blocks! I really love mine! The Dresden is lovely! All those Christmas blocks will work together beautifully in some sampler lap quilts, to be given to transplant patients hospitalized over Christmas. Thanks so much!
That Amish Diamond is really a great one to show off the print. I'll have to remember that.
Ibex, I'm happy you like your Dandy block.
