For once I am ready to start this one. Need to get some pics of my others, but I am happily (for the moment) caught up!! Yay!!! I really like this block. It may turn into making multiple blocks!

Lorna, adorable♥️
You are so sweet to share your amazing brilliance

Kerry said...

Lorna, you need to have a check on the A and F measurements otherwise the block is a little too narrow when dividing - 4.5 or maybe 5 with room for error?

But no worries easily fixed - I've caught up and now working on the holly (that's when I thought oops!) and the berries are already done WOOT!

How are you saving the last few blocks to your pc? The partridge in the pear tree gave me an option of printing or pdf..the newer patterns only have the print option and I don't want to print the pattern, I would like to save it in a file for further use..I really like the possibilities that one could do with the patters..I hope someone can clarify how you are saving them...thanks so much.
