Summer Flower Garden Challenge Block 6

Would you like to see a sample of what challenge participants are watching each day?

The Prairie Flower block is a great opportunity to work on identifying your snap points before drafting the block in Electric Quilt.  Before watching the video, take a guess at correct snap points.  Then watch the video to compare your approach to mine.
