7. Tidal Pool Quilt Block
The designer of this graphic block was inspired by a day at the beach in Sydney. Her memories of color of the ocean, the way the light caught the rolling waves and the small sea life she spotted in tidal pools came together into this free block.
I wish the pattern links worked. Why show these if we cannot get a pattern?
The patterns are great but how do you find the patterns instructions?
