What lovely blocks you all made.  I put a slip of paper with your name for each block made and placed them in a box. My DH drew two names – 37 blocks to each winner.  And the winners are Karen N and Kristen S.  Congratulations, ladies!  Thank you all for allowing me to host this month.   And thanks to all the participants in this great group!
