fi·na·le ?

  1. the last part of a piece of music, a performance, or a public event, especially when particularly dramatic or exciting. synonyms:climax, culmination; 

 I can't believe how quickly the 10 weeks have sped by,

LINK to week one of the sampler shuffle and all 30 block patterns

WEEK ten - WHAT CAROL DID:

 

  • Worked on blocks 28, 29 and 30
  • got SO busy with inventory and a BIG SALE in the quilt shop I didn't get much else done for this blog post - but I will add some more info so.... - I thought I had better get these last 3 blocks up  early for you to work on over the rest of the NEW YEAR'S holiday weekend. 

I found that I needed to cut four 2" squares of background ( the pattern says cut 2)- You would figure that out when you make your block - but I thought I would mention it :)

My two sets of BLOCKS 28 29 and 30
