Try with 2 fabrics, or 4 fabrics… or … maybe more!

How do I find my block once I post it? I don’t know if I posted it correctly.
Pat, this is a really fine block. I remember when Stephanie at Loft Creations designed it for a 2012 Bloggers BOM with Canton Village Quiltworks. Here’s the original link: http://cvquiltworks.com/blogs/blog/12661317-bloggers-bom-month-5.
Awesome amazing how you motivate us. Love the patterns
I have just finished the first two. Don’t like my colour choice that much so may have another go. Margaret Anderson
I am looking forward to making my first two blocks. Will post when done. They all look so beautiful!
Got some catching up to do but love the first blocks already. Can’t wait to get started!
Will enjoy making these blocks between the solstices!
not sure why my blocks are not showing up here….i see them on my Facebook page but not here lynda
I would love to make the sample. Could you send the block poo attend to mm e please?
I would love to have the blocks sent to me so I can make them as well. Always looking for new projects to do. ThanksConnie

HI Pat.. I have the link and patter for Block 2 but I never received the one for Block 1.. I searched my email and cannot find it.

Is it best if the background is all one fabric, or can you make the background scrappy too? jadahlgr at yahoo dot com
Great block Pat, I had fun making it!
Thanks! Looking forward too the mystery.
Nann they are not all 12″ blocks and if you want to put four 6″ blocks in place of a 12″ space, the math does work for you to do that!
Oh I love day and night, mirror image, half and half blocks.
Can’t wait to get home, decide on fabrics and make this up!
Pat, will all the blocks be 12″? Will the sampler work with 6″ blocks as well?
