Maiden Run
Since a number of you are posting about Lollipops, it is giving me the courage to post for the first time. Although I have been drooling over Kim's designs for several years, this block was the first of her designs I actually made. The impetus was a silent auction for our biennial guild show, and I am happy to say it received a large number of bids! I had so much fun making it that I took the plunge and ordered Roseville. More about that in weeks to come.
