And I just love the large sampler blocks on the dark background. <br /><br />Since I have too many RSC projects spanning many years, make big quilts and don't have a design wall I don't think I could show a mid year post but it's nice and inspiring to see a lot of colorful blocks all in one place. <br /><br />I'm in the midwest (Iowa) and we had several days of extreme heat then several days of heavy rain, flash flooding and tornado warnings.
