So, I am walking away for a bit from THAT machine…but I have hundreds of quilt blocks drawn up and for the next few, I will be building from a simple quilt block pattern, and with changing placement and color, see how that simple quilt block is transformed.   This simple quilt block pattern has a finished size of eight inches by eight inches.
