Thanks! I'm working on my penultimate block now! (It's one of the 16-piece curved piecing blocks. Yikes!)

Love your bee! This will look so good with your other mountain blocks.

Thanks, Darns. I wondered, briefly, if this would be considered "cheating" -- but I really didn't want the Dresden Wheel in addition to the Dresden Plate... so there we have it!

How clever! You really are a creative lady! Your blocks are so very different and I'm sure your finished quilt will be a knock-out!
