I thought I posted this but found it in my to-do list. I finished it last month.
I love the Patience Corner block and have made variations of it over the years.
Here is one I made in May 2023 with more of a white emphasis.
This current one is scaled to feature the wonderful reds. I pushed the reds from burgundy to nearly orange. One piece is from my mom's scraps of a dress she made for my sister in the mid 1950s.
My directions of a traditional block. Use at your pleasure.
