One Block Wonders

I have spent the past month working on a series of "One Block Wonders". While it has been fun and quite a learning experience, I think I will be finishing this last one and working on a new direction. I have so many things to try.

Latest quilt

I have completed my latest quilt based on the "One Block Wonder" concept. I am pleased with the result. Selecting the fabrics was the hardest part.
