My head is turning. Didn't it say something about sets of a 12.5" block and a couple 6.5" blocks, and some rectangles, too? Did you decide to simplify it to all 12.5" blocks? This sounds like fun. I have to go shopping. No kona white. I usually rock with WOW's. What a hardship. This will be fun. I will have to dig out some bright fat quarters to play with. Thanks, Teresa!

I have to skip this month. I will be gone most of the month visiting family and will not be close to a machine and my stash. Besides, I have to let someone else win as I have won the last two lottos! Gotta share the joy. Have fun.
