She sent nice big pieces, and wanted a scrappy block. I used scissors instead of a rotary cutter which gave my pieces a satisfyingly almost-wonky-almost-straight look. I love the center of that Heather Bailey flower, and I'm curious who designed the pale pink fabric-- the birds and birdcages were fussy cut, and my very favorites for this block. I see lots of red and aqua quilts out there, and think I need to make one-- but with a healthy dose of ballet pink.

Wow - you are fast! I haven't even made it home to see if Anna's fabric arrived! Thanks for the Quiltology rec - we made it out there & I loved it. The owner is fantastic. She even has Flea Mkt Fancy barbells in pink on a bolt! About 5 yds left in case you're in the mood for a road trip. Thanks again!
