I love this pattern. It gives all the fabric measurements that you need. All instructions are clearly written and easy to understand. One of my favorite things is that the pattern shows several colorways to give you a good idea what the pattern would look like in different colors. Some of us don't have as much imagination as others.

It turned out so cute. I belong to a quilting group and our project is to use 6 inch blocks in black and white and this will be in that quilt. Thank you.
