Today IS my day to kick off the blogger's book tour.
I have a great group of friends and
I am super excited
to have them participate in my book tour.
Remember there are 10 participating blogs...
talking about Large-block Quilts.
10 chances to win a copy of the book!
And each of them will be making a block
from the book.
Will it be easy?
Fast?
or
just Fun?
You'll have to wait and see....
