So sorry for the previous post with no information. My
work ahead finally caught up with me. I didn't want you
to miss out so here you go.
This months mini is one of my all time favorites.
What is it about little squares! I hand pieced this one and
had a great time. I still think I prefer machine piecing but
doing it by hand is a nice change of pace.
If you are interested in making one of you own and you
don't have the 2024 Mini-a-Month Postcard Collection
yet you can order one here.
If you have been keeping up with our Potholder Project
You now have enough little cuties to connect a few rows.
I use a ladder stitch on the back to do this. Here is a
tutorial that I found that is really easy to follow.

Making the block

flying geese units. Click here for flying geese tutorial.Your blocks should measure 1-3/4" x 3", including
seam allowances.

of the 3" light square. Trim seam allowance and press.
