This set of 10 blocks was a rather late-night kind of set; 6 out of 10 were sewn after the work day was over. With the online community showering as much love and affection as they did in the earlier blocks, this set also got completed as per schedule with a sew and post each... Continue Reading →

But any reason is a good enough reason to buy some fabric.Its a deep lovely blood red but... Continue Reading →
