Colorado Beauty.........

This block is part of a BOM for an online group........
....each month someone picks a new block.........
The blocks are 12 1/2 inch unfinished........
I love the prints............more burgundy then brown
This bundle of fabrics is a swap with my friend Carole.
She wanted a cookbook I showed on my blog so we traded for fabric.........she
has a patchwork shop in the USA Fibre Junction Quilt Shoppe and specialises in
reproductions..........this is what she sent in return for the
cookbook.................I am very happy.........
Catch you later..............

Hi Chookblue, I don't know what the cookbook was but with that bundle of fabric I think you won on the deal. Love the block too, it would make an interesting quilt alternating the pos and neg colours I think.
