So inventive! I'm surprised that you're new to quilting but then, artistry will out!

LOL -- Thanks! I've been sewing for only a few years, and the quilt thing was a total fluke. I'm still amazed at how much I'm enjoying the whole process!

Hello All -- I've responded to each of the comments below -- but none of my comments actually came out! Gack! Thank you all for your good words. I'm new to Craftsy and still figuring things out a bit. (I'm new to quilting, too, and still figuring thiings out!) And... I'm having so much fun!

Thanks. You must be a *real* quilter. (I'm a "totally new" quilter, and this is the most difficult block I've done so far.

Thanks. Someone else in this BOM did a super cute dragonfly a while ago -- I meant to give her credit for the idea, but I can't remember who it was! Darn. (So... thank you out there!) ;-)

Thanks -- I tried several different wing configurations before settling on this one -- I'm very happy with this. Now it's on to the second April hexie block. I'm just a smidge behind. ;-)
