The Mild Drama
I ended up choosing this block out of order, because my August sashing goal took up so much of the month. I needed a quick block, and this one fit the bill. […]
Blocks
The Uninteresting Block
This may be the least interesting block in the world. I’m wanting to publish this blog article tonight, but I’m also realizing that I don’t really have much to say about […]
The Diamond in the Rough
After the last few complicated blocks, it was a relief to do something with simple rotary cutting and easy piecing. This was originally going to be a July block for […]
