Yes. They will go in the "block spaces for the first and 3rd borders. I haven't quilt decided which blocks will go in which space. But I will post the "concept" tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

The blocks are only downloadable from the blog post for 24 hours. I've been keeping them a little bit longer than that because of time zone differences across the world. (And I decided to leave block 1 as a free pattern throughout the series.) You should be able to click on the links on the fencing (block 4) and swimming (block 5) blocks at this time (8/8 am). (I just retested the links and they work) The pdf should open and you should be able to do a "save as" on your computer. If they aren't downloading, you may want to try a different browser on your computer. Comments are closed.
