This is is my kaleidostar. I hope it works for you, Terri.

What a cool block, GramE. I'm always surprised at the things you ladies come up with!

Muse, love that block. Thanks so much.

Lovely block GramE. I'm going to be stealing this idea for the future. 😊

GramE -- that is a great square. It lets you fussy cut and, like Janice, I will be using it in the future. Did you design that square? I've never seen it before.

Sorry, am having posting problems. One more time!

This is TravelingGramma's block. It doesn't have your falling leaves but it does have movement. Hope you can use it. :)

Looks like leaves falling from the tree when you're at the top of the tree! Tremendous movement! Lovely!

Hi Ladies....beautiful new blocks!! I am so glad that I finished my blocks early because Tuesday night lighting hit my house and killed my sewing machine and my TV and my modem on the computers..what a pain!!! Since I can't live without a TV, replaced it right away, then the modem and looking for a new machine....

What a scary thing to happen! I am very glad you're alright. I haven't read everything between your post and where this note is. I hope you have found machine that you like and are busy testing it out. If you haven't already posted a note about it, which machine did you get?

i should mention before I embroidered on anyone's block I did check with them first. Billi for some reason this swap just called out for a few blocks to be embroidered. Only have 2 blocks left and they will also be embroidered. Not sure if I have time to do them before I leave but if not no stress I will do them when I get back to home base. Here so rarely home base is more appropriate then home

Ibex this was a very fun block to make, loved all the pretty colors and the block went together perfectly.

Oh WOW!! I am so dazzled! Look at all those pieces and the movement in this square. Perfect colors, perfect block! Thank you!!!

Looks like I am going to have to rip and restitch some of the blocks I made because they are too small. I hope the blocks I sent out in the last boom were not too small to be used. This "redoing" was not included on my timeline!

I need to check my cutting mat... This may be something that is happening with my squares, too....
