As before, I hope you'll feel free to use your own color scheme and add all kinds of fun embellishments.

The instructions for this block were available for free for the first two months. If you were unable to download the pattern during that time, you can purchase this block pattern for a small fee on my Patterns Page. Please do not photocopy or email the PDF file to a friend. I want to you share my patterns with any one who wants it, but please direct them to my website and they can join right in.

When you've finished your block, please share a photo of your block so we can all see each other's work. It was so much fun last month! Here is the form to submit your photos for your second block. It is easy to use! Check the bottom of this page to see other quilters' block 2 photos.
