Stamp Basket in a Garden Maze
fee $35
This block was featured on a postage stamp (a 13 cent one, so you know how long ago that was!) and has been a favorite block almost forever. I've changed the piecing methods to really simplify it, and added a Garden Maze border that's so easy to construct that you'll love doing it again and again. We'll learn how to adapt the Garden Maze to different sized blocks.
