This was my third go-round with the design, but I cheated a bit and combined shapes (so I could cut one piece of fabric, instead of two or more of the same color).<br /><br />Thank you, Paula . . . you've given me an idea for a wonderful post!!Raymond K.

Daughter will have to wait for her coasters while I try to figure out which tiles and what layout/rotation you used. Blatently and unremorsefully going to copy it. Just love the geometric look. Might do differrent colors tho...just to maintain the illusion that I didn't copy.paula mirfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225744637101738712.post-27162638429430833912009-08-13T04:15:12.255-05:002009-08-13T04:15:12.255-05:00Greg, you're a charter member of T.A.A.

I just (forgive me) assumed I could match up the numbers for one option and wing it for others. I'm not a big fan of directions so I really though little of the fact there were none. I just see it as something to tickle my imagination. It made me think of the 3-D puzzles I used to love as a teenager.Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11432523879661309779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225744637101738712.post-75737629215719003382009-08-12T14:54:53.024-05:002009-08-12T14:54:53.024-05:00Thank you, Paula . . . so you've gone from mer...Thank you, Paula . . . so you've gone from merely designing with the tiles to actual block construction?? . . .
