I’ll keep it short and sweet….
I found this nifty paper pieced block on Quilter’s Cache
and thought it would be fun to make for you!
I considered making more blocks, but decided that you might appreciate my (cough, cough) talents if I made this block into a reusable, washable, roll-up bag and gave it away to a blog hopper.
Sound good??

Yes, I think this might be an OPEN
and SHUT case!!
