Thank you for posting this pattern! I love this block as it is fun and perfect for a little girl's room. And since I have your ruler...guess what's next on my list! Now if I only had time for everything on my list!
Excellent! I'm so excited to get started on this one!
I love your block too! I'm wanting to give my lounge room a face lift for next year and thinking of using your block on a number of projects. All I have to do is get the curve ruler and of course my fabric. Thanks for sharing the great tutorial. I can't join in on the swap due to the distance and costs. Will be happy to post pictures my projects as I make them. Thanks again. Julie
A beautiful block! Can't wait to see your quilting on a quilt with these! I have been a bit nonquilting for a long time, but finally got some more sewing done than in a long time. Hopefully there will be some more quilting on the longarm soon too :-)
