The new Saturday Sampler program has a mixture of block sizes that is optional. Each person can opt to buy a "big block" every other month that will be added into the mix with the regular blocks. Of course, I couldn't pass that up, right?
Big Block #1 is done, although I still haven't tackled the 2 regular Saturday Sampler blocks yet. And actually the center of this 24" block is very similar to the regular 12" block.
I must confess that I messed up with this block a bit. The rust color is supposed to be in the center where I have the greenish-brown. But I cut those rust strips only to realize that I didn't have enough to make the pinwheels too - because that border was supposed to be the greenish-brown. Oops!! But the block still looks OK. Now I need to get the 2 regular blocks cut out and sewn.
I think the block looks wonderful and not just OK - it's uniquely yours and not a "cookie cutter" block.
