Block Completed: 11/3/15 Fabrics Used: Riley Blake, unknown scraps I only had a little bit of time today – and was rushed – so went with fabrics that (for the most part) weren’t very fussy.

Under the Sea: Farmer’s Wife Block 78 Old Maid
Block Completed: 10/19/15 Fabrics Used: Riley Blake, other This block was an important lesson learned for me today, as I used two different rulers to measure my pieces – one a quilting ruler, and another a standard desk ruler (don’t ask, I don’t have a good reason why).

Review: DIY Block Design by Alyce Blyth #mydiyblockdesign
