I’m behind on my posting! I got this block done a few days ago, but never posted it. Time for block nine of my Summer Sampler 2016 quilt! This one is called Curves, for obvious reasons. These curved blocks are nerve wracking for me, but they’ve all seemed to come out looking pretty nice. I… Continue reading In Progress – Summer Sampler 2016 – Block 9

Yay! I’m all caught up on my Summer Sampler 2016 quilt blocks! I finished up block #8 today. It’s called Deck of Cards.
