That is going to look wonderful, Barb. I love that block and how versatile it is.

I am all packed up and ready to leave early tomorrow morning, so my block #2 is going to have to be put on hold until I reach TX mid-Dec. It will be the first thing I sew up. A good 'jump start'! Love your applique.

Love the colors of your block! I think we all have bad sew days, it's worst though when it happens when you're under pressure. Take a deep cleansing breath, hehe.

Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

I love these Sew Sweet Simplicity blocks but have not been able to start as our Guild's BOM is due Dec. 4 completely finished. I'm sewing the binding now! I love to see all the different fabrics that people choose.
