Happy Blockheads Wednesday, and welcome to Week 23 of Blockheads 5! We are so excited to welcome another Ruby Star Society designer to our merry band of Blockheads. Today, our featured designer is the talented Sarah Watts, and she has designed a magical block that combines traditional piecing and FPP for a visually striking result!
