The finished block has a very heraldic look - reminds me of a medieval shield. Gorgeous fabric choice.

Very super great instructions from start to finish. Cleared up my confusion concerning pressing and counter clockwise in beginning with first two squares. Excellent. Thank you

[leannemori]

Nicely done. Well explained without becoming too repetitious and boring.

[joanbielefeld]

Superb tutorial. Clear verbal instructions as well as clear video shots. Especially helpful were the tips on selecting the fabric order. Hope you do a quilt as you go tutorial.

I really like your "slow enough" style. I can picture what I'll be making. Your video is also the first I've seen the block without using lights on one side and darks on the other. This gives more space for creativity. Thank you.
