Block 10 of 12

This pattern is worked as a scrap quilt. Each block is done in different fabrics.
However, it is recommended that fabrics in each block go well with previous blocks.
Quilt Top can be done in three sizes as indicated in cutting chart below.
Sizes can be altered by adding borders if you like.
Final assembly directions will be given with block #12.
Dig in that stash or bundle of FQ's and let's get going.
Fabric Suggestion: Each block will use tthree colors.

Color A (background) should be light.
Color B should be medium or contrasting.
