Such a fun book with lots of cute blocks you can make out of scaps. You can mix and match blocks of use them to make potholders, tablerunners, placemats or a really adorable baby quilt. This will be in my favorite list!

Cute blocks that are doable. I have made the frog and the lady bug. I altered the ladybug by removing the black dots and will sew on buttons if I feel it really needs it. The pieces get tiny fast so I wish I would have starched before hand.
