    I really like the 3d effect your color choice gave it. Very nice.

    Thanks, I am fascinated by 3D looking blocks, and it is why I chose to do this one.

    12.5 inch blocks. The swap is on a different forum, I just learned about this one a few weeks ago.

    The carpenter's wheel was used as a cheering on block in the railroad, to remind them that Christ as the master carpenter is with them on their journey. The wheel I chose fabrics that had a "wood feel", the light fabric the butterflies were a deliberate choice to signify change and freedom, the backgrounds will be woodsy to remind about the journey through the woods or forest.

    Great choice of colors for depth. Did you say you pp this block? It is HSTs and squares, right? 12-1/2" unfinished? There are 8 across, so would that be 2" squares and if using the Right Angle template you could cut the HSTs from that same size strip........ Granted a bit of layering changes, but not too confusing....I am just thinking "out loud" here...I really only do PP for very angular, pointy piecing.....I guess my first choice is piecing rather than PP!
