Although their were less pieces and they were larger. I kind of love that freedom. But with these blocks you could really get out of whack and lose the design if you get too far off with your placement. I don't fret about perfection with the placement as a guide, close is good enough!Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3551007238143198780.post-63227603218905490112014-10-12T10:25:13.791-05:002014-10-12T10:25:13.791-05:00I am looking forward to the double swag.
