Just a quickie....

well, I thought I would get lots done yesterday, but it took me the entire day to remake this block.  I forget how difficult it can be.  I sent one of these to a gentleman in my birthday block swap last month and it never arrived, so I made another one.  It's a Pam Bono design from her More Quick Rotary Cutter Quilts book that I have had for 8 years.  I have made this block several times and even made a paper piecing patterns to make it more accurate.  I love it, but it is time comsuming:



I'm sending 2 holiday gifts to Ms. Penny (my longarmer) this weekend and I work the next 6 days.  Won't get much sewing done until next week.
