**Note - if you ordered a kit we are so sorry if you
 have not received it yet. We should have all kits in
the mail by the end of week. There was such an
overwhelming response we are waiting for more
fabric to arrive. Thank you again for your
continued support.

  3. Thanks you so much Sheryl! This first block is adorable and the instructions are very clear. One question - I know you'll be posting a new block each Thursday in March. Are we only making one of each block for this mini? Thanks again. I LOVE that you do this! :-)
