Have you been watching Angie's videos? If you have, you'll know that she's a huge fan (HUGE!) of Bloc Loc rulers. They make quilting with accuracy a breeze.

Taking a cue from Brooke, we love using this pattern to highlight our obsession du jour. Most recently, it was superheroes, but we've also used Alexander Henry and Tula Pink as our muses....
