Thanks Ronda. DH just ordered a book for mother's day by the same person I think but under a different title. We'll see what is in it. We want variety anyways. I'll let you know if it has anything when it comes in.

There's a great section on garden blocks. I will likely use at least a couple of her designs. Maybe we can get a list going of possibilities, not to mention some of the free patterns on the internet. I'm working on a Carolina Lily right now and will post a picture when I get one block done. It's a bit time consuming.

Although I've tackled a few...the snail was quite do-able and the ladybug was also, although in a 3 1/2" size more tricky than the larger block. Have fun deciding...

Brushandthimble welcome, welcome! We're happy to have you join us!
Here is my first set of 3" blocks for the "twist" (3 1/2" unfinished). I have flowers in my garden.
