It really is square (lump from a fold line) but I will lose a couple outer points when I put it into a top because I didn't use a small enough seam somewhere and it was late when I made it.

This will require a very very scant 1/4" seam to avoid ripping it out (ask me how I know). It is a really easy block but doesn't allow for any large seams.

I am sending the background White on White (along with directions and special requests) fabric. I'd love to have 2 shades of the same color used with my white....red/pink, green/light green, blue/light blue, purple/lavender etc etc etc.

My lighter shade is almost too light so you might have to watch out for that trap (I jumped in with both feet).

Hope this helps everyone "see" my block idea.

Got mine ready to mail tomorrow too.
Hikeaddict ... here's mine again in case you missed it. Pretty basic colors -- just a light and a dark of the same color -- tiny prints would be fine like I have on my sample.

Have fun shopping.
