Fat Bottomed Girls
I’ve mentioned the difficulty I am having with constructing my pink and brown star blocks for my Raise the Roof quilt. The blocks take forever to lay out properly and there are many ways to make errors in the orientation and position of the block elements. I have been procrastinating about sitting down and facing…
