It is hot as blue blazes! But I am not complaining too much because I am a warm weather kinda gal. 🌞
Happy Friday y'all and welcome. Are you trying to stay cool as the center seed of a cucumber? 😀🥒🥒🥒I sure am.
Yesterday I rustled up a few pieces of fabric to make some test blocks. As soon as I saw Bonnie Hunter's new leader/ ender block for the year, I fell head over heels in love with it.
I certainly had a grand ole' time piecing these blocks.
In fact they are a bit addictive. I think it is called Four Patch Fun ; I am not for sure. Super cuter and super simple! Now that is right up my alley! I am using 2 1/2" squares and 2 1/2"x 4 1/2" rectangles for my blocks. So the finished block will measure 8".
Anywhoo I played with different arrangements in the setting. Today will be Four Patch Friday where I work on more of these blocks.
