Fun spring project!
By chance I discovered your blog. Since then, I look almost every day. I like your work very much. At first I found it hard to read your patterns, because I live in the Netherlands. I can speak and understand English, but language is still hook anything else ...
I also have a blog: busybessy.blogspot.com / I'm too busy with granny squares. I would like some of your patterns in Dutch post on my blog, or concerns do you have? In any case I will refer to your blog as a source.
Regards, Elizabeth
Really really Cute square, and if done in a shade of pink or red it would make a cute heart square too. This square is very versatile, thanks so much for sharing. You are very talented with your designs and your square designs are very innovative. :)

I like your square... thanks!
