My First Block
This is the first block I started with because it looked the easiest and I wasn't in the mood to make bias strips. I also took a little creative license and changed a couple of things. I have decided not to put the green center in the papaya ( I think that's what it is) for now but may change my mind later.
I also put this yellow dot on top of the bowl, the original has it underneath. I liked the design and wanted it to show!
I really like my circles to look as perfect as I can make them. I used the Perfect Circles from Karen K. Buckley and they work well. They are easy to use too.

I don't think you need to apologize for your changes, it shows you thought about it and that makes your quilt more yours i think
