    :D Nice! They kind of look like our Yo Yos that can be different sizes and are round or heart or flower shapes. I sed some of those on my May banner for the flower blossoms. My grandmother used to sew Yo Yos by the hour, by hand. she sewed them together and was going to make a quilt. Yours would look nice sewn together too into anything - a table mat or purse or decoration on anything. Google YoYos and see some ideas.

    Where did you get the pattern? I might like to make some like yours.

    Both of your blocks are very pretty!!! I can't wait to see what you end up doing with them :D :D :D
    I have the Quiltagami book too, I played with a couple of the blocks. I starched the fabrics pretty heavily and pressed after each fold and that seemed to help some :wink: It is on my list as a wall hanging some day

    Oh good you posted pictures of your blocks. They look great Panda! I think they would make an interesting wall quilt. Your bag idea is great also. Can't wait to see what you do with them. :)

    Izy, I have looked at that book and wondered how easy it was to follow. The block looks great!
