I want to thank everyone for their kind words and messages of encouragement and also clear up one small misconception. Dancing and quilting are my two big passions. Since I cannot dance right now, quilting has become my happy place. So when I feel well enough to work on quilts or patterns, it is not out of obligation. I have always loved designing, but my brain has to be in the right place for it. Being able to return to that creative work is actually a good sign.
The August block is a fat, cuddly Crocodile. Well, maybe do not try to actually cuddle him, but I wanted him to be more cute than scary. His belly looks quite full, so hopefully he is not in the mood to attack anyone.

As always, the pattern will be available for free download until the end of the month and move to the pattern store when the next block is released.
EDIT: The period of free download is over, and the block has moved to the pattern store where it is now available for purchase.



Thank you so much Beatrice. This one is as adorable as can be and I do hope he is full because he is going on my first great granddaughters quilt and I wouldn’t want anything to happen to her. LOL
Thanks for the gator pattern:)
What a cute gator! Also, great to hear you feel better when you’re sharing your patterns.
Thank you very much for the pattern, very cute! Hope you continue to improve
