What was your inspiration?

The Facebook puzzle, "How many squares" can you count in this block was the inspiration for this quilt block. I originally created it for a quilting bee I'm in but have entered it in the Project Quilting Season 4 competition.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

You should have at least 8 different fabrics to create this block, it's very easy and doesn't use a lot of fabric. Have fun!

I've seen this posted on facebook, but it takes a clever mind to turn it into a quilt. Great project and definitely a conversation starter.

I'm glad you like it, I'd like to turn it into a full size quilt, I have a few ideas, I guess I'll just have to experiment. Thank you for your kind words!
