Tips

  • It’s all about staying motivated now. We are about to cross over the finish line and you deserve all those yummy feelings. If you are behind, so what? You’ll cross the finish line soon too! Be kind to yourself.
  • Taking your time and gazing at your block layout will help you find the things that irk you. Like too many dark colors all jammed together in one place. I like taking my time with this step.
  • Here’s that tutorial for the design wall.

I am jumping up and down. 56 blocks is A LOT! They were small, but still! SO MANY PIECES! Be proud of yourself for getting them done.

I’m particularly smitten with the block pictured above. Those moths magically got placed in such a lovely place to showcase them. Aren’t happy accidents the best?
