I have another 3 on the design wall, but am working on the 4 patches for the Carpenter&#8217;s Wheel so there will be a break in donation blocks.<\/p>\n<p>I think these are cheerful and fun. When I get to making more blocks, I have some pink squares that will end up as blocks. I also have some boy colors, which I will need to make up.<\/p>\n<p>People also brought tops and backs they had done at home. I think there were about four of these.
