thank you! this was not the easiest way to go about it, i'll say that lol, but the other ways i had graphed out were going to come out really huge or odd sized. this is still going to come out pretty big as that block is about 16in. I wanted to do a high/low version but i was going to wind up needing six more colors to coordinate with what i already had or 12 all new colors lol. As is, i severely underestimated how much fabric this is going to take and am going to have to go buy more anyway lol. Honestly, if you can cut and sew relatively straight, using blocks would be pretty easy to do. But on the flip side, I can't grow things, so you've got me there :D

i hit up youtube and found people doing all kinds of neat versions in quilts. I honestly kept going back and forth on whether to crochet something or quilt it but I couldn't make a decision on the yarn and the fabric was all on really good sale at the time. I did think of a really neat way to do a crochet version using the highs and lows, but so much yarn... I think I saw some pics of projects that did the white to black version and looked really neat

oh no! yeah, i can see that taking a lot of yarn too.

thank you!

yeah, our summer will probably be about the same, but right now the temps are swinging from 40s to 70s so it's a little crazy. had to turn the heater on two days ago, cut the ac back on yesterday and been going all day today but supposed to get cold again tomorrow lol

I'm in central Florida and it's been pretty warm but it's cooling down some this weekend, we should be able to turn the ac off anyway. It blows my mind it's snowing just 12hrs drive away (for reference for some, I typically drive about 4hrs back to where i grew up in south Georgia, texas is about 12hrs away i think)

i've never crocheted grown people clothes, i did a couple of baby dresses years ago and that was bad enough, i'll stick to flat thigns lol

thank you! it's my first time making one of these blocks this big
