What was your inspiration?

Goes pretty well with my background on other blocks - a black paisley. I used a lot of green too.

What are you most proud of?

Most of the fabrics from my stash. I did purchase some plain pink to lighten some of the other blocks. May have another redo when I review all the pieces at the end.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Work with fabrics you LOVE. This is a great course

Thank you so much. This is a little different than my usual background, so I hope it will be cohesive at the end. If not, I'll add a "little something" for a border and call it a day. I don't want to redo this one particularly, as I like it.

Wow, I'm impressed! I've been so busy lately I've not had time to do any quilting. This looks difficult! But, it's such a classy classic.

I'm afraid to say I'm still back something like March! I have an Etsy store and it's kept me hoppin' lately. I really enjoyed the quilt blocks. I did make a Hawaiian print pieced strip block that I really liked. So, I'm going to turn it into a bag.
