...This one too. ;) In fact, this {mystery} block has been on my wishlist for ages. So far it has not disappointed. Of course you'll have to take my word on that, as I want to hold off on showing the block design until the top is fully assembled. Not because I'm sworn to secrecy {I think we all know I'm not that cool} but because I've been tweaking little details here and there and and figure y'know, what's a few more days?

Oh I"m loving that sneak peek!! Can't wait to see the quilt top!!
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks amazing! I think I'd need to see the quilt top to comment on the thread colour, but I'm usually in favour of whatever will blend in best. Can't wait to see more!

ReplyDeleteSneak peaks are not for me. I want to see the whole thing! Right now :-) One can say I have little problem with inpatience. Looking good!
ReplyDeleteLove those low volume stars! More please!
