OK, so this week, we are getting into the good stuff…the actual sewing! We’re making four blocks this week. Which four blocks you make is totally up to you: maybe you want to sew the first row, or just your most favorite fabric combinations, or the four blocks with the taupe solid outer star points. Or maybe you’ll be  ...
