FINALLY finished my fall version just today and will get it ready to mail out on Monday. Many thanks once again for this pattern. I can't begin to guess how you figured it out. I really enjoyed making this; although I had several problems, they were all of my own making as I don't do a lot of paper piecing and am easily confused by it:)

Sorry that you've only received 20% back. I did not make one because my block would not print correctly - - the test square was not square, one side was slightly less than 1" and the other side was slightly more than 1" so I didn't even attempt the block. However, I did send a replacement block (a patriotic New York Beauty) and it was never acknowledged so guess it works both ways.

Same experience for me. I'm glad I stuck with it. Now I have added this pattern to my bucket list. DH and I were talking about how beautiful it would be in various shades of blues and whites - kind of like snowflakes. :-D I'd love to do a whole top like that.
I didn't get to sew at all for six weeks, from mid-June through end of July. Am catching up now and sent my block out a few days ago. Sherryl, please let me know if you need me to send another one and in which colorway (I'll be much faster this time!).
