That would allow me to look at and think about each piece and get a feel for how much I have of each. Looks like plenty of pinks, yellows and oranges to use as sparkling bright pops.<br /><br />I've been waffling about making a couple of Mariner's Compass blocks, but since you've posted a photo of a carpet with that type of star, I think it's a sign for me to start!!

This reminds me of a round robin style, where each person adds the next border. I think this would be perfect for that--except that you are the next person for each round. :) JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667429570761867646.post-45415611311636506602017-07-06T14:08:26.703-06:002017-07-06T14:08:26.703-06:00Improv can be a great way to use up some scraps an...Improv can be a great way to use up some scraps and experiment.
