Beautiful block and a great assortment of fabrics. Looks like it must have been a great class.

Wow what a great looking block. Purple is also my favorite color. Are you going to make it into a quilt?

Ok first its very pretty! Second I got questions? :wink: Did you use monofilament in the bobbin too or just regular thread? I see the edges are turned under but did you use glue sticks or just pin it down or did you use a fusible?
