I LOVE to see what quilters do with my patterns, whether it's a different fabric selection or a different size or a complete reinterpretation of one of my patterns or blocks.
Well, I thought I would share Tommye Lou Rafes' first two blocks made from our block-of-the-month patterns for Ode To The Blue And Grey. Don't you just love the blue she used? Gorgeous, Tommye!
