Hi Everyone,
I hope your summer is going well. I have been super busy getting ready for some medical stuff and my puppy had surgery so it is like having an infant in the house. I have to feed her by hand and carry her everywhere.
If you are using your Cricut Maker to make the blocks you can find the cut file here. There are pieces from the Ohio Star block included in this so put those aside for later.
The video for this block can be found here:
You will need the written instructions to go along with the video you can find a printable PDF here. You can also find the instructions below.
